Treasure
The book Treasure is an accordion book comprised of 10 double page spreads measuring 8”H x 16W. This edition is printed on handmade abaca paper with silkscreen and moku hanga. Moku hanga is a traditional Japanese woodblock method that uses waterbased pigments and a baren for printing by hand. The text is Optima 24 point lead type, handset and printed on a No. 4 Vandercook.
Treasure was written by Katie Baldwin. It is a narrative poem of a woman at the turning point in her life. The writing is about the need for read change, action taken and effective outcomes—however the outcomes are both unexpected and unpredictable. It is a text that reads at first as personal change, yet alludes to the imminent need for change everywhere. Images are appropriated from a Jiffy Pop popcorn label and the Japanese text provides instructions for making popcorn.
