Recently I stumbled on a website called Pattern Prints Journal and from there I found Karen Kunc’s work. She makes bookworks that use woodcuts, patterns, watercolors and poetry. Here are several that I liked. You can see the original article I found here and Karen’s website here.
Ephemera, 2009, artist book: woodcut, letterpress, polymer relief, leather. Poems by Robert Pinsky., 10″ x 6″ folded, 10″ x 42″ unfolded
