About This Item
Berkeley, California:: never mind the press ,, 2019.. Edition of 18. 6 x 7.5" closed, extends to 66"; two accordions extending from each interior back panel. Letterpress printed from handset type and linocuts. Materials: black Stonehenge paper, acrylic ink-dyed muslin, paste paper, book cloth. Bound in cloth boards. Signed and numbered by the artist Alisa Golden: "The Bearded Vulture is a fascinating Old World bird; we don't have them in North America, but they did have them in Palestine/Israel as far back as biblical times, and as recently as 1982, the last time a pair raised a family there. I was fascinated that the majority of their diet is bones, and they wait for other scavengers to finish before they swoop in. In captivity their body feathers remain white. By creating a doubled cover and two one-sheet accordion structures I wanted to capture the feeling of unfolding out into their seven-to-nine-foot wingspan. "Peres. Bearded Vulture is a bird that is unclean to eat. In Genesis, Abraham beats away vultures from a sacrifice he offers, but it is not likely it was the Bearded Vulture. Bearded Vultures eat only bones and marrow; they clean up when the last bone has been picked clean by other animals. Bearded Vultures also preen with iron-rich dirt, so I printed linoleum cuts first, then hand painted the earth tones into the feathers.
