Maintainance and Care:

The is not a digitally printed or offset book. The pages are paintings, so be sure to keep them stored in a cool dry area of the home away from high humidity and direct contact with water. If you happen to need conservation support at any point in the future this book is constructed with reversible adhesives. So, with proper care any issues can be repaired.

Be aware that this book was also made in a painterly manner, there are little stains from the making process but I do not consider them defects. They show the labor that has gone into this object and set it apart as an intuitive object, shifting manually over time.

By purchasing this work you agree to someday donate it to a local library, museum, or other archive for public consumption and study. Book arts are meant to be public objects that people can reach out and touch, carry, and contemplate.
