Images created using woodcuts and photopolymer plates. Housed in clamshell box. Text and illustrations by Lauren Faulkenberry. Firebrand Press: "This is a series of three books, titled Smolder, Galvanize, and Devour. With a structure similar to a map fold, each book is printed on a single 18" x 24" sheet that collapses to 6" x 6". "Based on the mythology of the Greek furies, this trilogy explores themes of heartache, longing, and obsession, and describes how it feels to be set aflame by another." The books and box can be arranged so that the cover drawings on each combine to form the image of a human heart.

Handbound in quarter-cloth with cover paper of handmade walnut dyed flax. 3.5 x 3.5" illustration inset of quilted papers, which were designed with the artist's mother. Suzanne Sawyer: "The legacy of quilting is ubiquitous in American history, so much so that it has lost some of the meaning it once held. But its history is rich and perhaps best typified in African American culture such as with the quilters of Gee's Bend. The quilters, descendants of former slaves living in rural Alabama, developed a unique, improvisational style of quilting using just remnants of clothing. Their quilts have become world renowned for their simple geometric patterns and have been compared to the work of modern… Read More

Hundreds of black and white halftone plates, depicting the various paintings. On the opposite leaves, printed in red ink, are the painting titles and artists. A front blank contains a tipped-in photograph of Schemm, surrounded by his bounty of paintings. A crisp, clean copy in the publisher's red cloth, stamped in gilt. Very minor dust-soiling to the cloth, and an owner's name on the front free endpaper, else a rather crisp, sharp example; near fine. A very nice production.
