Project Description
Salami Dreamin’ is a small-edition artist’s book by Michelle Maguire, featuring eye-popping, hand-printed images of her blunt, funny, completely unimpressed Italian American Great-Aunt Doll, with colorful Aunt Doll anecdotes by Aaron Beck. Maguire and Beck are married and live in Columbus, Ohio.Production Lesson(s)
I feel my best when I’m making something, and I wanted to learn how to build a book. So I started hanging out with printers and bookbinders and I’d continually lose my mind over the endless possibilities. I was excited about the tactile properties inherent with various printmaking techniques — the lightly “kissedâ” impression of letterpress and foil stamping; the color vibrancy achieved with hand-mixed acrylic inks and the way they sit on the surface of a cotton paper.
