15 3/4 x 15 1/8 in. (40 x 38.5 cm)
Bound book of 14 hard and soft ground etchings on natural Gampi and Rives de Lin papers. Text by Balka, letterpress. The artist paid homeless people on the streets of California to allow him to imprint their bare feet (mostly toes) on a copper plate to make these prints. The result is a startling collection of strong but subtle images that reflect the frailty of human existence. The edition is limited to 25 copies: 1–10 are bound books; numbers 11-25 are portfolios of loose pages. There are three sets of artist’s proofs. Published and printed by Edition Jacob Samuel, Santa Monica, CA. Edition of 20 copies
