JEWELWEED IMPRESSIONS
a private
personal publisher
In early 2008, I founded Jewelweed Impressions as a "personal publisher" for small unconventional editions related to my studio work. This step into the emerging wave of small publishers grew from a project that complements my work as an algorithmic artist. The core of the project grew from a series of "upsidedown" drawings I created in the early 1970's. The project required transformations of these drawings on the scale of a mural spanning two storeys and the publication of the drawings in a book with unique demands on typography, page arrangement, and documentation.
Jewelweed Impressions emerged as
our publishing solution for maintaining full control of every detail in
the production of the Upsidedown Book. Following the precedents set in
this edition, Jewelweed will be an occasional publisher for editions that
grow out of my studio interests as an artist
and humanist.
