The previous edition (2019) comprised 10 hand-bound, small-format copies (10 x 8 1/2 x 1 3/4”). There are only three of these copies left. The first, special edition had only two, large format (16 5/8 x 15 1/4 x 1 7/8") hand-bound copies made in 2014. Both of these early editions contain a set of 62 spliced prints and slightly different versions of an introductory text. These prints originate in Sumi ink paintings made on glass and subsequently digitized in a flatbed scanner. Embedded on the cover of each one of the books of the 2019 edition is either a fossil or some other similar natural element. The two copies of the earliest edition have embedded in their cover an original painting on glass with the ink emulsion on the backside protected with a coat of gold spray paint.
(The cost for a copy of the 2019 edition is US $ 350.00; the first (2014) special edition is, $1,500.00)
At the end of 2016, we carried out a successful financial campaign to fund the development of the first phase of a video-animation version of this book. Ithaca-based composer, Peter Dodge, and Trumansburg video artist, Bryan Root, are still working on this long-term project. You can get a glimpse of the progress he has made working on the first of this three-part piece, here.
