Seymour Press ~ Minnesota
(CB Sherlock)

IC B Sherlock: "I am a printmaker and a book artist. I create small edition books and one-of-a-kind-works of art. I find connections using the flexibility and intimacy of the book structure. My work is interactive, to be held, touched, read and viewed. It is an exploration of extraordinary found in everyday life."

Wheatland
By CB Sherlock

CB Sherlock: "A memory of passing the expansive sunny wheat fields in the heartland of America, as the grayness of the Mylar reflexes the storm clouds that gather above. As the book opens the fields of grain expand, the sound of the Mylar mimicking the swaying of the wheat."

A B C Insects
By C B Sherlock
Minneapolis: Seymour Press, 2004. Edition of 26 deluxe.
Edition of 26 standard.

4.7 x 4.75"; 29 leaves. Letterpress printed in black and brown (recto side only) on Zerkall Book Cream paper. Illustrated end pages.

As advertised by the title, an alphabet book of insects from ants to zorapterans. But also a printer's homage to type. A line of insects (presented as a simple two-dimensional solid viewed-from-the-top and printed in light brown ink) bisects each page: a line of ants on the first leaf, a line of zorapterans on the twenty-sixth. In the center of the page the appropriate letter (a for ants, etc.) in eight or nine different typefaces is printed in black. All insects are identified on the last leaf before the colophon.
