Pandemic
New York: Intima Press, 2022. Hardcover. Number 6 of 10 copies signed and numbered by the noted book artist. Mindy Belloff writes of her book: "This book developed through the first six months of the coronaries pandemic, beginning in March of 2020. The diary-like writings helped me to process the overwhelming information in the news media about the global spread and daily death tolls from Covid-19....As of the final printing and even with the vaccine rolled out, there are over 1 million deaths in the U.S. and over 6 million deaths recorded world-wide." The book was created using materials found around Mindy's studio. The text was handset in Bodoni and printed on a variety of thick cotton rag papers in white, tan, and greys, including Somerset and Arches. She ran the press without ink, printing in blind emboss. Hand written text on the bottom of the pages was printed from photopolymer plates with grey ink to mimic the original pencil writing, and images of coronaries molecules were letterpress printed with metallic gold ink. The book is Coptic bound in cream cloth with a letterpress printed design and printed title label. In fine condition. Measures 5.75 x 7 inches. Unpaginated [about 32 pages]. ARTB/101023. Fine. More
