Lettre Sauvage: The hand had stirred her mind.
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2010/07/yma-rays-writing.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Monday, July 5, 2010. The hand had stirred her mind. Speaking for the Trees. The sticks of the lemon tree in the riverbed. The trees in the river. The bridge over the rocky path. The scroll is on the cave of the beast. The thousand scrolls of love. Papyrus, frames of fresh bamboo. We can get through all this. We have passed it and know that it is true. Speaking for the trees" reminds me of a book we have called Who Speaks for Wolf. The hand had stirred her mind.

Lettre Sauvage: July 2012
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Tuesday, July 24, 2012. Linoleum on the press again! I love the hand-carved, quirky marks that come off of a linoleum block. Last week we had the opportunity to print for a local artist, Leo Debruyn. Leo's wife, crafter Maria Debruyn, brought the linoleum and helped to pick three bold colors and fine, velvety papers to match. The cards are available in their etsy shop, Crafty Mamacita. The cards are shown here before they were folded. Guest Artist, Kevin Carman.

Lettre Sauvage: ah ah ah ah ah (ah)
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2010/07/ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Tuesday, July 6, 2010. Ah ah ah ah ah (ah). Fiona’s description of Yma’s discovery of the hand, and hand-writing, recalled to me a single edition published by Allen Ginsberg in 1975 called The Poet’s Hand Book. The place of the hand has often been a contentious one in the history of printing, but the two are more intertwined than is commonly thought. Manuscripts, as Peter Stallybrass. Roman Catholic indulgence, 1521. Labels: history of the book. Lettre Sauvage...

Lettre Sauvage: February 2010
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Friday, February 26, 2010. The newly completed cover of Windfall. Has been the object of much musing. After spending so long with the poems, it's satisfying to see this book come together in a cover that, to me, really covers it. The cuts in the wood seem like little portraits of inexplicable sensations and the reference to a landscape with its struggles and flows is a fitting companion to the poems. Thursday, February 11, 2010. How to Make a Valentine.

Lettre Sauvage: June 2010
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Monday, June 14, 2010. Recently I came across a video that had been uploaded and downloaded from YouTube 1000 times. Contrary to popular opinion regarding the “perfect” reproducibility of digital media, the result was heavily distorted, with images and movements rendered thick and abstract, and the videomaker’s voice sounding like it was underwater. Another time I took an image of a film strip from Bruce Conner’s REPORT. And applied a similar technique. Scanni...

Lettre Sauvage: looks too good to not eat
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2011/01/looks-too-good-to-not-eat.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Thursday, January 20, 2011. Looks too good to not eat. These are (to the best of my knowledge) flowers growing in the center of collard greens. They are so exquisitely proportioned and geometrically perfect and my favorite color that I set them up on my window sill and photographed them. There must be millions of tiny flowers in there. That our friend Anne had sent a few years ago. I found it on their site along with several other lovely vegetables.

Lettre Sauvage: February 2011
http://lettresauvage.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Letterpress, printmaking, paper in the jaws. Wednesday, February 2, 2011. There was a humor magazine called The Cornell Widow published by students at Cornell University between the 10s and 60s. I had never heard of this mag until suddenly Cam hauled 700 pounds of printing blocks used in issues of The Widow into our workshop. The caricatures are great and maintain abundant personality.
