Item Description
Elegantly designed box set of a series of 67 collages expertly photographed and printed with archival inks. Each collage is composed of both Jewish and secular calendar contents, maps of Jerusalem, and Hebrew and Arabic letters that are cut out and then composed to imagine a lively and inventive alphabet, from and for the city of Jerusalem.
Includes 67 (7.5 inches x 7.5 inches each) prints housed in portfolio boxes designed in collaboration with Linda Lembke of Green River Bindery. Box (8.5 in w x 24 in h x 1.75 d) includes three trays to hold the prints, and each tray is lined with a letterpress printed page that displays the month (October, November, December) in which the collages were created. Tucked under the tray that holds the October prints is an accordion fold frame, for viewing any four prints from the suite.Each portfolio box is covered in silk book cloth, and includes a title label: Jerusalem Calendar, letterpress printed on a map of the city.
In 2011, Lynne Avadenka was one of four inaugural Fellows of the FJC's American Academy in Jerusalem. While there she created 67 collages, one for each day of the fellowship. Upon returning home, she created this limited edition project based on this work generated in Israel.
Prints on Moab Entrada acid free rag paper by R.H. Hensleigh.
