It's Fine Press Friday!
Multiple Discovery is a 2022 project produced in an edition of 50 copies by the five letterpress printers who make up the collaborative group, Shift-Lab: Katie Baldwin, Denise Bookwalter, Sarah Bryant, Macy Chadwick, and Tricia Treacy. The colophon describes their process:
Multiple Discovery (2022) occurs when innovations are made independently and simultaneously in different locations. Shift-lab uses Multiple Discovery as a metaphor for our own remote collaborative practice. Working with a common horizon line and color palette, we each developed imagery for this artist book in separate studios. Printed sheets were then exchanged in batches of ten. Individually, we wrote and printed text gathered from a shared collection of source material that was collated and folded into a unique set of ten copies.
Since we collect all the work of Sarah Bryant, we hold one of the ten copies printed by her (numbers 21-30; we hold #25). The entire edition, however, is signed by all five artists.
