- Alphabet Trix would not have been possible without the help from many people. My deepest gratitude goes to Harriet Storm for her boundless insight, clarity, and enthusiasm. The sewing was done by my dear friend, Kim Austin, who saved me from having to take a crash course in sewing. Mary Laird is my artist book guru whom I rely on for wisdom and guidance. A special thank you goes to Ann Kalmbach for making the silkscreened images a reality, for her essential suggestions, and her wit. The love and supposrt from my husband, Dan Swerbilov, are always needed ingredients for keeping me sane. THANK YOU persons mentioned as well as all the other individuals who encouraged me...people at WSW, friends, and family! Alphabet Trix was made possible by an artist residency grant from The Women's Studio Workshop in Rosendale, New York. WSW's primary funder is The New York State Council on the Arts. My project was funded by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. This book was hand-set in Weiss Roman, Weiss Italic, and wooden type. The cards were printed on Stonehenge and the images were silkscreened on Kozo paper.
