Description

Artist's book.


"Published by the Wild Pansy Press on the occasion of 'Kookoo' at the Hardware Gallery, London, 11 September 1997."--colophon.


"Housed in an unstructured binding of folded pages wrapped in a printed paper cover, Babayan's linocuts of plums are paired with Taylor's letterpress printed "Recollections of a Growing Plum or Growing Pains". The collaboration is a metaphoric reflection on the two artists' shared pregnancy."--Art Metropole web site (viewed 20 May 2008).


"Fifty copies printed letterpress on 250 gsm Hahnemühle paper in Méridien at the Atelier de la Cerisaie, Paris, by Chris Taylor and Michael Caine. Seven original linocuts by Karen Babayan."--colophon.
