by Jim Machacek and Sibyl Rubottom, San Diego: Bay Park Press/False Bay Editions, numbered 8 of 20, signed by Rubottom, handmade artists' book comprising 14 unbound folded folio sized leaves housed in a green silk lined folding case
Provenance: purchased Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers, Birmingham, Alabama, September 2009 for $1,800 (accompanied by copy of receipt); Private Collection, Asheville, North Carolina
Note: "It was in this spirit that we began our garden book, the eighth collaboration from False Bay Editions at Bay Park Press. Perhaps the creative seed for this book sprouted from Sibyl's longtime interest in all things botanical. Or maybe its roots are from Jim's ancestors who dug in the midwest earth for a living. But as gardeners do, we have nurtured this book into a riotous colorscape for your senses. And we hope it is better than we have ever done before." - from the artist's website
