Truly Bone

In this collaborative book the poet Hilda Raz offers words of self-reflection and revelation about the search for meaning and physical mortality, with a sense of resignation and solace in nature. Karen Kunc created a richly tactile frieze of images which pulse with biomorphic abstractions, geometric permutations and natural icons. Hand printing processes integrate layers of color aquatint washes and deeply bitten skeins of etched lines.
