Item description from seller

small folio. loose sheets, two accordian-style handmade paper-covered boards books, inserted into a large aluminum box. Unpaginated. Drawing with light, Drawn from stone. Limited to only numbered 20 copies signed by the artist, Mary Heebner. Instructions on handling and display loosely inserted. Fine in fine clamshell box. This is Mary Heebner's fourth book using watermarks, however, up until 2017, it was the most extensive. This book is a comparison to the effects of light through paper created from the pencil sketches inspired from Heebner's subjective impressions of marbled statues in Italy. Heebner created the paper in Fabriano, Italy, one of the most well-known and reputable locations in papermaking history, and is able to bring the watermark drawings to life using light as the medium. The two books inside, Marmo and Schizzi, contain additional text and illustrations. Marmo, printed in accordion-fold form, is printed with original text by the artist in both English and Italian. The text provides evidence of marble being a vessel in its connection to a higher order and as a source of wisdom. Schizzi contains a suite of fourteen prints which were created by Heebner in her Rome Sketches series. From the colophon: "Assisting in the production: Handmade paper produced at Museo Della Carta e Della Filigrana, Fabriano, Italy with Luigi Mecella and Bruno Angelo Stroppa, Giorgio Pelligrini, Director & Dieu Donne Paper Mill, New York with Paul Wong and Lisa Switalski.
