To One’s Taste
– Out of Print –
To One’s Taste is about evoking the power behind spices. The eleven authors explored these ancient goods and sought to tell the story behind a seemingly lifeless object.The book itself is a small one, made with light Japanese Yatsuo paper, giving it a portable feel, much like the portability of the spices along the Silk Road, which inspired many of the spreads. Each quire is a different color of spice adding to the illusion that the book is synonymous with the spices themselves.Although the spices all have a rich history, each author portrays their own spice in different ways. Some used recipes and childhood memories to bring sensation to the spices. Others gave the spices a life, voice, and persona of their own. No matter what their methods, the result is a cohesive, spicy, artist book that not only sparks the reader’s interest but also leaves them hungry for more. Imagery was produced with linoleum blocks, many of which were printed in white ink. The size is 9.5 x 6.5 and there are 109 copies in the edition.
