Limited edition of 33, with 30 copies for sale. Prospectus laid in. There are 5 pochoirs, reflecting a variety of approaches taken to still life by Bachinski over the years. Derived from large, existing paintings, these are by far the most complex pochoirs he has done to date. There are also 7 colour reduction lino cuts. 5 are paired with quotations about, or statements by, the artists who have affected the development of Bachinski's work. The title page and colophon also have linocut images. In contrast to all the vibrant colour, the text is also interspersed with 5 black and white woodcuts. "The type is hand-set Deepdene, printed on 200 gsm Arches Cover. The lino cuts and pochoirs are printed on the same paper. The woodcuts are printed on Fudagami Oguni (large). The book was jointly conceived by Janis Butler and Bachinski. The printing of the text and colour lino cuts were done on a Vandercook Universal 1 press by Butler with Bachinski assisting. The woodcuts were printed by Bachinski on Washington Iron Hand Press. Butler is the binder" --Prospectus.
Summary:
'Still life' is about Bachinski's approach to the making of still life. The pochoir illustrations are variations on still lifes done over the years that he considers to be important as an artist.
