Description

hand sewn, foldout flaps, leather spine and upholstery fabric cover boards; cover; interior spreads and pages. A tender tribute to the lasting relationship of the artist's parents. Edition of 25 numbered and signed copies. Images of the author's parents, William and Frances Salic Cecil, are printed on rectos with folding overlay showing William Cecil in isolation; text on facing pages. "Vintage photographs [reproduced as pigment inkjet prints] and brief text document a couple's many separations and ultimate reunion. I began Reunion shortly after the death of my father. My mother predeceased him by 34 years. He never remarried. I am intrigued with the idea that they are now reunited, at least figuratively, and perhaps in a more tangible form"--Artist's website, viewed 9/7/2006. Awarded the Purchase Prize for "Maternal Legends," a national juried exhibition of contemporary artists' books held at 23 Sandy Gallery, Portland, Or., Dec. 2008. Library has copy no. 2.
