Alleverythingthatisyou. Photographs by Mike and Doug Starn, poem by Vincent Katz. Baldwin Gallery, Aspen, 2006. 52 pp. Quarto. No. 458 in an edition limited to 1000 numbered copies each with a unique ink-jet dust jacket (with snowflake design) hand-assembled by the artists. Plain gray boards with cloth spine. Black-and-white and color reproductions with 2 color gate folds.
"Assembled with the Starns' trademark visual flair, this catalog brings together images from a portfolio of images of snowflakes, many of them isolated against stark backgrounds that reinforce the intricate structure of the flakes themselves. Exploring issues of individuality, memory, ephemeral experiences, and on some level the transitory nature of life itself, the Starn twins provide a framework for readers to ponder big questions while considering the tiny jewels of snow preserved in these pages. Each book is finished with a unique ink-jet cover featuring one of several different images of snowflakes, all of which were printed, taped and numbered at the Starns' studio in Brooklyn, NY. Limited to 1000 copies."--the publisher
