[Anémona Editores] Edwards, María

Puntos Luminosos [Luminous Points]

Mexico City: Anémona Editores, 2019. Hardcover. Number 1 of 12 copies, signed and numbered by the artist in the lower tray of the box. This wordless artists' book uses the imagery of an obscured musical score, light, and blackness to suggest the interconnectedness of stars in the galaxy. It was created from repurposed pages from a music book, which have been overprinted with black ink. It is still possible to see several staves and notes through the painted textures and silkscreened layers on each page. The artist chose some of the notes and punched through them with a needle to form connections. These pinpricks, especially when held up to the light, also appear to form constellations.

Hand-sewn with an exposed binding. Housed in a grey clamshell box with black linen side panels. The box is silkscreen printed with the title on the front panel, colophon on interior panel, and a short text on the inside of the box lid as well as on the outer rear box lid. The text on the box is printed in Spanish. The full text with English translation is below:

1. Puntos luminosos / Luminous points
2. oscuridad puntos de luz /  darkness points of light
3. …puntos luminosos, conectados, forman una galaxia… / ... luminous points, connected, form a galaxy...

[46 pages.] Book size: 8.5 x 5.75 inches. Box size: 9.25 x 6.25 inches.
