| Physical Description: | 1 volume : illustrations ; 20 cm "Grievous Injuries was produced during a residency at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Text and imagery were letterpress printed from photopolymer plates on a Vandercook numbers 4 proof press. The paper, handmade by the artist, was produced from the cotton rag fiber of unblessed purificators and corporals - linens which are governed at the Sacrifice of the Mass of the Catholic Church and are used to cover the body [wafer] and blood [wine] during the Communion Ceremony. Each sheet is uniquely stained from slices of beet. The sequence of watermarks were adapted from the monograph. |
