The Rabbit Report, 1989

The Rabbit Report, 1989  A vision of what happens when a deluge of rabbits--real or imaginary?--descend on the metropolis. Silk-screened and coated scroll encased in papier-mâché rabbit.  6”H x 5”W. 20 copies.

These papier-mâché rabbits, each containing a screen-printed scroll, eschewed conventions of fine binding and printmaking at a time when editioned artists' books were largely produced within the province of craft and industrial processes (evolving from private press tradition or commercial offset printing technologies). Hutchins exploration of alternative methods of reproduction – including rubberstamping, photocopying, simple relief printing and silkscreen – have continued to combine with the playful sensibility and structural variability that define his work. ~~ review in Minnesota Center for the Book Arts catalog, 2003
