Early Morning

“The land is waking from her nightly rest. The early birds are sweetly singing and insects are buzzing to start the day. The lake is quiet. And I still can feel the nights coolness on my face. The rising sun sends powerful rays over the land highlighting the hills, crowning the trees with halos, and shining through the nearby grasses. A fresh new day is here!”

Before Jill Timm became passionate about the book arts, she was a printmaker. Now she turns her past art, her prints, into books. Early Morning solves the dilemma of how to turn a flat image into a book while keeping the image intact. The book unfolds as the text is read to reveal the full print when the last section is infolded. The original serigraph, with 13 layers of oil based ink on archival paper, is 12” x 24”. The book is 4” x 6.25” and comes with a matching case.

Edition of 12, $350.
