Description:
Edition of 35 numbered copies, signed by Peter Thomas and Donna Thomas. "This short poem by Nye has been hand set with various sizes and fonts of wood and metal type and printed as a scroll, in multiple colors using a 'rainbow roll', on Peter's handmade paper. The paper is also illustrated with two paper pulp stenciled steampunk images made by Donna. Each image was sprayed using 4 colors of pulp through 2 or 3 stencils. The spray pulp was made from old colored rags with no added pigments. The scroll is bound in a unique box structure made with paper pulp, stenciled handmade paper, and California walnut. The box also features wooden sprocket cranks made from straight grain maple, inscribed with the word 'close' and an arrow indicating the direction to rotate the sprocket to return the scroll into the box. There is a pencil attached to the end of the scrolling text to restrain it from slipping into the box"--Artists' website.
