Collection No. 8

Description

“You see here a font of cast decorative elements that I designed and engraved by hand while teaching a course in punchcutting at Ghost Ranch near Abiquiu, about 65 miles north of Santa Fe, New Mexico.  The border elements were drawn directly from observation of the landscape.  Much of the engraving was done while seated in the breezeway of the bunkhouse where I was staying, thus each unit represents an actual place.  For the first time they are cast for public distribution by Skyline Type Foundry.”
