SOME DRY SPACE 2003
The Great Basin and Mojave deserts offer some of the more majestic and varied environments on Earth. This book, the first of my large hand-made efforts, also represents the first time I was able to work with a aircraft at my personal direction, and my tempered awe at the privilege.
Hand-made book of 18 images made by the photographer from 2000-2001. Printed on Epson Enhanced Matte paper using archival Epson Ultrachrome 3 pigment inks, adhered with archival Gudy 831 double- sided pressure adhesive. Archival stability well exceeds c-print standards. Custom box by John DeMerritt Bookbinding, Emeryville, CA. Edition of 8 with two A.P.s, signed on rear cover.
