Triangular Press
"[C]reated and produced by Julie Chen and Barbara Tetenbaum. Julie: sleeve text, image and design. Barb: card text, image and design. Julie and Barb: binding design. Printed letterpress from hand-set type, wire, antique news cuts, dingbats and photopolymer plates."--Colophon
"[I]nspired by a conversation about how a person translates their life experience into a narrative form: prominent events may stand out as the nameable moments, yet it is the space between these events that life, in fact, is lived."--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website
"Pages formed by envelope sleeves open-ended on right. Each sleeve with miniature square window cutouts, and no sleeve with the same cutout pattern. In the form of a tablet with overlapping staggered 7.5 x 3.5" pages. Sleeve enclosure is attached to box of cloth-covered boards with title tipped on front. Signed by both artists"--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website
"The mid-century photo album structure contains text written by Chen ... Her text is printed on both surfaces of each of the 15 hinged sleeves. Windows in the sleeves reveal small glimpses of the pull-out cards, each written and printed by Tetenbaum and containing dates and events of the non-important moments of her life. These texts are supported by diagrams, grids, and mundane imagery."--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website
Issued in cloth-covered drop-spine box with letterpress-printed title collaged onto the front of the box
