SGANTAS, JUDY FAIRCLOUGH
Of Bugs and Plants in a Northern Garden
Newark, Vermont: Janus Press, 2012. No 70 of an edition of 120. Signed by Judy Sgantas and with a presentation inscription to Elizabeth from Claire [van Vliet]. A collaboration between Claire Van Vliet, of Janus Press, and Judy Fairclough Sgantas, an artist and gardener. This work is a double alphabet book, with classical Roman letter forms entwined with plant life and insects. For each letter of the alphabet a black-and-white image faces a second, hand coloured image, revealed by opening an opposing folded leaf, with text positioned on a centre panel between the complementary images. This nod adhesive structure was designed by Elizabeth Steiner and called 'Gioia' after Elizabeth's mother.
