“shattered stones (a song for sigurður björnsson)” is a poem of sorts reflecting on stones and memory inspired by a walk beside a glacier in Iceland. Sigurður Björnsson was a young man caught in an avalanche which I read about on the trail I was walking. I also noticed a large amount of shattered stones along same trail and I imagined their witness to this small moment of human disaster. The original drawings were executed in walnut ink. The images in this book were printed in three color risograph, while the text was printed letterpress. The cover was hand-dyed in walnut ink and the book was bound by the artist.

Risograph printed on Mulberry Paper accordions in Black, Melon, Cornflower ink. Letterpress printed text on Fabriano Clay paper. Walnut ink dyed St Armand covers with letterpress-embossed image.
