For the last ten years I have been using the same steak knife to cut paper. A couple of months ago I bought a serious paper cutter and today I tried it out for the first time. In the time it took to listen to the sweet sweet Animal Collective – album Merriweather Post Pavilion:
In that short amount of time (~60 minutes) I was able to finish what was going to have taken at least a month to complete. The steak knife makes for a softer edge but sometimes you have to compromise. This is going to be a series of approx. 500 books so gonna be working enough?? (let’s see I might be lucky to finish by fall, 2010)
Here are some pictures from my studio which is a real mess!!!!
That is approx. 6,000 sheets!!
