Foodies
Foodies: Seven West Coast Foodie Vignettes is an artists’s book which explores the diversity of meaning in food-related language. Each story has a contemporary theme, employs its title word in as many different definitions as is possible, and begins with a West Coast table setting. For example, Can takes place midday at a truck stop outside of Los Angeles and Chop during Happy Hour in the North Bay. The portfolio contains seven letterpress printed folios, each with wood type printed cover, two color interior screen print illustration, and original story. Production for Foodies includes 46 press runs in 25 colors. Project web site.
