Associative Miscellany by Annie Silverman
Title on spine.
“Asssociative miscellany is a compilation of woodcut and pronto plate prints on Japanese paper of bees from “The Honey Bee: a Manual of Instruction in Apiculture” / by Frank Benton, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1896, and the 1920 Journal of Bee Keeping. The prints were waxed with bee’s wax from Farmer Al’s bees, and sewn with waxed linen thread. I have been working with Bee imagery for a year in print installations. As an artist and urban gardener, I am concerned about the plight of bees, and have researched bee symbolism in various cultural arenas.”–Colophon.
