Needless to say, I slept well last night, after spending time with this gem of an artist book. Raymond Meeks’ “Furlong; Blue Evening” is a beautiful celebration of young adolescence, light, nature, and that seemingly eternal freedom we all tasted and felt in our youth. His hand-made publications are some of the finest artworks I’ve ever sat with. They lure me back to pour over repeatedly through the years. The photographs and their emotive nature are made completely present to us in their exceptionally tactile printing, incorporated with equally palpable repurposed materials to contain them in a transcendental layout and design.
“The artist book is printed with carbon pigment inks to repurposed book paper with spot varnish applied to the prints. Additionally, some prints are made to transparency material and tipped-in, throughout. Includes choice of silver gelatin prints, toned in selenium” (R. Meeks)
Edition of 20 12.5 x 9 inches
