At
Editions, we see books as a sculptural method forstoringandsharinginformation.More than text, they are also visualimages,unfoldingpages,sequences of ideas, unusual bindings and molded cases. "Heaven
knows I've tried to makeconventional books," reports Ed Hutchins.
"But
every time I start, illustrations pop off the page, pages unfold like
origami, and letters take threedimensional shape."
We don't have a
traditional printing press so we've turned to non-traditional methods
like rubber stamps, cast images, block printing, photocopying and
flash-bulb stencils to reproduce our messages. We also use materials
found close at hand--scrap paper, museum board, stickers, candy
containers, candle molds, dowels, key chains, industrial scraps--to
create our books.
Please browse our pages
and explore the alternative fringe of bookmaking.

The structure and format reflect being 'lost', never reaching the end of the journey.
