About This Item
Glenview, IL: The Artist, 2006.. Double-sided variation on an accordion flag book (20.5 x 25 cm folded). Fine, in folding card case with artist's imprint and limitation statement. Copy #11 of 25 numbered copies, signed by Hanmer. Pigment inkjet prints on polyester film, with central printed card spines, which, when unfolded and extended, stands on its own as a whole. The work derives its inspiration from a passage in Cather's MY ANTONIA, which is printed on the tail piece in company with the formal limitation and Hanmer's signature: "Everywhere, as far as the eye could reach, there was nothing but rough, shaggy, red grass ... And there was so much motion in it; the whole country seemed, somehow, to be running." When unfolded, the imagery and potential kinetics of the piece replicate that impression. Hanmer is an award- winning binder and book artist whose works have been included in scores of exhibitions.
