The book was offset printed by Brad Freeman at Columbia College Chicago in Summer 2018 and included in the Journal of Artists’ Books #46 and the exhibition Let’s Do It: Twenty-Three Years of Book and Paper Arts at the Glass Curtain Gallery. &nbsp;<img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ab73cf25a486740d6c286d4540883e6ca7c985f50bdbe8b84f45753efa608d50/Orison-9.jpg" data-mid="76882852" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ab73cf25a486740d6c286d4540883e6ca7c985f50bdbe8b84f45753efa608d50/Orison-9.jpg" /><img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da31055f83d466f8b612a5dc4ef955f202ef77bcb545c651b83afb1432aeb8fa/Orison-3.jpg" data-mid="76882846" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da31055f83d466f8b612a5dc4ef955f202ef77bcb545c651b83afb1432aeb8fa/Orison-3.jpg" /><img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/745bfd37adcd8e6bd30ec0ea1ec900c42e4cc967cd2b5014d888301d8c5fceac/Orison-2.jpg" data-mid="76882845" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/745bfd37adcd8e6bd30ec0ea1ec900c42e4cc967cd2b5014d888301d8c5fceac/Orison-2.jpg" /> <img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2f1aa33d6379a788632758b347c20d4d258be4a6742c57b83d281dcbe3ee932/Orison-8.jpg" data-mid="76882851" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2f1aa33d6379a788632758b347c20d4d258be4a6742c57b83d281dcbe3ee932/Orison-8.jpg" /><img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fb78a004ee118b2bd2bc43a80c53f2ff94177be41bf0d96d63b5e885e2d9f219/Orison-4.jpg" data-mid="76882847" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fb78a004ee118b2bd2bc43a80c53f2ff94177be41bf0d96d63b5e885e2d9f219/Orison-4.jpg" /> <img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3cb0cd0f83b0b2b05ebfb666772f6d5e2d91f1cbe591897f95aca541aee1ec7/Orison-7.jpg" data-mid="76882850" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a3cb0cd0f83b0b2b05ebfb666772f6d5e2d91f1cbe591897f95aca541aee1ec7/Orison-7.jpg" /> <img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e99023b1bc0f4d03be8ac23f1be6e0cac7f9fe0b24421350150690112445b247/Orison-5.jpg" data-mid="76882848" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e99023b1bc0f4d03be8ac23f1be6e0cac7f9fe0b24421350150690112445b247/Orison-5.jpg" /> <img width="2111" height="2112" width_o="2111" height_o="2112" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/915f5941612d9f9f6e97a793c5f08da8335429adb02a4ee492a94d5f6f67b880/Orison-6.jpg" data-mid="76882849" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/915f5941612d9f9f6e97a793c5f08da8335429adb02a4ee492a94d5f6f67b880/Orison-6.jpg" /> https://maryclarebutler.com/Inland-Sea Fri, 13 May 2016 21:13:13 +0000 Mary Clare Butler https://maryclarebutler.com/Inland-Sea Inland Sea Artist’s Book, Installation,&nbsp; Cyanotypes exposed in Lake Michigan2016 <img width="762" height="762" width_o="762" height_o="762" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b84a5b050bf7627d3b7a7372db534af6faf0907b0fac560611bca0bb19bbccf/Screen-Shot-2016-04-25-at-10.26.57-PM.png" data-mid="69167345" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/762/i/4b84a5b050bf7627d3b7a7372db534af6faf0907b0fac560611bca0bb19bbccf/Screen-Shot-2016-04-25-at-10.26.57-PM.png" /> Inland Sea is an offset-printed artist's book and corresponding print installation. It contains hundreds of cyanotype prints developed using the water in Lake Michigan to address the complicated relationship between nature and the city. Over a four month period, I coated small square sheets with a UV sensitive solution, placed the sheets in plastic bags, and exposed them in the lake at varying depths and exposure times. <img width="772" height="795" width_o="772" height_o="795" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33b30f1334094f39460a27ca79f0324bb8aca443eec4be6bb4ab5c78e9eaea47/Screen-Shot-2016-04-25-at-10.26.34-PM.png" data-mid="69167346" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/772/i/33b30f1334094f39460a27ca79f0324bb8aca443eec4be6bb4ab5c78e9eaea47/Screen-Shot-2016-04-25-at-10.26.34-PM.png" /> After visiting ten beaches and creating hundreds of cyanotypes, the images were used as source material for an experimental artist's book. An edition of 150 books, including a special edition of 25 books covered with handmade paper, was printed on the Heidelberg GTO offset press at the Center for Book, Paper &amp; Print. Ink color and density were adjusted on press. As a result, each book in the edition is unique. By intervening in the offset printing process, the printed sheets continue to evolve and change, similar to the incessant motion of the Lake itself. <img width="901" height="827" width_o="901"

Working with curator Debra Riley Parr, Brad Freeman, and fellow Print Production Fellows Ruby Figueroa and Woody Leslie, we developed a small, intimate book structure to invite the viewer to hold the book close to the body. The delicate serif typography and subdued format mimic the subtle fragrances exhibited in the show.

As offset printing fades into obsolescence, the book documents the spaces and people involved in offset printing in Chicago. The book was printed on an Epson 4900 inkjet printer and bound by the artist, using recycled materials from the printshops. &nbsp;<img width="2500" height="1135" width_o="2500" height_o="1135" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4c1f7c587607714fba7136164fbd600d288b84ef74a32e4a6f1b091a67a8cfc5/The-Press_02.jpg" data-mid="76883520" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4c1f7c587607714fba7136164fbd600d288b84ef74a32e4a6f1b091a67a8cfc5/The-Press_02.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1135" width_o="2500" height_o="1135" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/30e94b31ca0f6a5dc9ac168cb6069a9e00d8ec8a19a68fa329b74815ddbbb4aa/The-Press_03.jpg" data-mid="76883521" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/30e94b31ca0f6a5dc9ac168cb6069a9e00d8ec8a19a68fa329b74815ddbbb4aa/The-Press_03.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1135" width_o="2500" height_o="1135" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d426412dc3c0dcce0010764b585127fc27c5825f20d59f950fed75aad64daba/The-Press_04.jpg" data-mid="76883522" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d426412dc3c0dcce0010764b585127fc27c5825f20d59f950fed75aad64daba/The-Press_04.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1135" width_o="2500" height_o="1135" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e790eb9fb5b769c542fd2aeaa1ef202b1c91e0e7757002d695e8d0ed828c4c65/The-Press_05.jpg" data-mid="76883523" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e790eb9fb5b769c542fd2aeaa1ef202b1c91e0e7757002d695e8d0ed828c4c65/The-Press_05.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1667" width_o="2500" height_o="1667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a54c68e2ff9c13ddc10f9cfc8606b40b190f9ea536bc4e8927a616c4c2d0e870/Stitcher_01.jpg" data-mid="76883518" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a54c68e2ff9c13ddc10f9cfc8606b40b190f9ea536bc4e8927a616c4c2d0e870/Stitcher_01.jpg" /> https://maryclarebutler.com/Closing-In Fri, 01 May 2020 18:01:01 +0000 Mary Clare Butler https://maryclarebutler.com/Closing-In Closing In Digitally Printed Artist's Book201411" x 9.25" <img width="2501" height="1546" width_o="2501" height_o="1546" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ef7d37b47861a66af56318da5f4fe97e6ddae8786468e0e75ea44ac0dc8ef2f2/Cover.jpg" data-mid="76883866" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ef7d37b47861a66af56318da5f4fe97e6ddae8786468e0e75ea44ac0dc8ef2f2/Cover.jpg" /> Closing In documents ice fishermen on Chicago's southeast side. The ice fishermen gather on the frozen lake over a former U.S. Steel harbor. On a three degree day, I went fishing alongside the thirty or so people at the harbor, conducted interviews, and took photographs. Primary and secondary research about the shifting neighborhood adjacent to the harbor were combined into a text that gradually closes in on itself, much like the unattended ice fishing holes. <img width="2500" height="1336" width_o="2500" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/da8f4298500f5adc7ae71b2dbfb2d7b4d9fa0c8e56fc74540bf1101d0af67cd7/Closing-In_03.jpg" data-mid="76883871" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/da8f4298500f5adc7ae71b2dbfb2d7b4d9fa0c8e56fc74540bf1101d0af67cd7/Closing-In_03.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1336" width_o="2500" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ff71dd85be21f5e726ea0a6b89e3b0d1843574e9fa4cfc87ad2b7d48b6f0f93d/Closing-In_04.jpg" data-mid="76883872" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ff71dd85be21f5e726ea0a6b89e3b0d1843574e9fa4cfc87ad2b7d48b6f0f93d/Closing-In_04.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1336" width_o="2500" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c59b5cac96280f76a91f29a11f65c88a32969b097e642348ae1b35fe8d79e55a/Closing-In_05.jpg" data-mid="76883873" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c59b5cac96280f76a91f29a11f65c88a32969b097e642348ae1b35fe8d79e55a/Closing-In_05.jpg" /><img width="2500" height="1336" width_o="2500" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f0a83ed773caef777580e83f24670e19edb8d4d0377013f2483ff65887091476/Closing-In_06.jpg" data-mid="76883874" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f0a83ed773caef777580e83f24670e19edb8d4d0377013f2483ff65887091476/Closing-In_06.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1336" width_o="2500" height_o="1336" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f94445763ce2fa3cd2e2c6bdc92e1cf914010dc543802ac08d1e3094113d1bf5/Closing-In_07.jpg" data-mid="76883875" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f94445763ce2fa3cd2e2c6bdc92e1cf914010dc543802ac08d1e3094113d1bf5/Closing-In_07.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="2751" width_o="2500" height_o="2751" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/158524d4269f6636b97902b056cf2379443cc8cbe8c4e3d3d96fa48ce9fec803/Closing-In_02.jpg" data-mid="76883870" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/158524d4269f6636b97902b056cf2379443cc8cbe8c4e3d3d96fa48ce9fec803/Closing-In_02.jpg" /> <img width="2500" height="1669" width_o="2500" height_o="1669" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/41a16611d318709859bbcd04f7a132cd5263ccf1bfe341a5e4bf462ff8c057f5/Closing-In.jpg" data-mid="76883910" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/41a16611d318709859bbcd04f7a132cd5263ccf1bfe341a5e4bf462ff8c057f5/Closing-In.jpg" /> https://maryclarebutler.com/Pegasus-Awards-2019 Fri, 01 May 2020 18:02:52 +0000 Mary Clare Butler https://maryclarebutler.com/Pegasus-Awards-2019 Pegasus Awards 2019 2019 Letterpress printing, Offset printing Poetry Foundation <img width="2500" height="1406" width_o="2500" height_o="1406" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/82e26cdcab175495b8b6569fef9a142d397502eba6e04394bfa5f2733cb3ad03/Pegasus-2019.jpg" data-mid="76883921" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/82e26cdcab175495b8b6569fef9a142d397502eba6e04394bfa5f2733cb3ad03/Pegasus-2019.jpg" />"Stars Over Big Bend" (center) from Voices in the Air by Naomi Shihab Nye.
