Notes:

Limited edition of 25 copies, signed and numbered in pencil by the artist on the title page. "I made a seventy-five percent cotton/twenty-five percent abaca blend paper to showcase the watermarks and pigmented the abaca pulp to create the rainbow spectrum of translucent papers. The illustrations by Béatrice Coron allow for the introduction of light, shadow and mirror images. The text was [letterpress] printed by Tom Leech at the Press at the Palace of the Governors in Santa Fe, New Mexico from polymer plates made by Boxcar Press. The typeface is Dante. Claudia Cohen bound and boxed the book. 'Interluceo' was designed and produced by Helen Hiebert Studio in Red Cliff, Colorado"--Colophon. "[Seven] hand-cut paper illustrations ... portray the mysteries of life: a baby in the womb, a couple, a child, a child gaining strength and running to embrace life, the building of a home (the pentagonal shape), exploring the world and, finally, spiritual contemplation. The seven white handmade papers feature seven intricate geometric watermarks which relate to the numbers one through seven and their corresponding shapes: point, line, triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, septagon ... watermarks ... are created not from wire in the papermaking mould but rather a thin rubber material ... Looking at the edges of the book reveals the rainbow inside"--Prospectus, quoted at the Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on September 29, 2015. "[H]and-sewn exposed spine and grey paper wrappers printed with title and geometric shapes in darker grey on front panel. Housed in custom-made [drop-spine] box of plum silk over boards with title printed blind on grey paper laid onto spine"--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on September 29, 2015.

Summary:

"This book derives from my eternal interest in geometry and light. The watermakring technique gave me the method for melding these fascinations, and the book form provides the structure for expanding on these ideas"--Colophon.
