Description: Amy Pirkle dedicated this book to her grandmother of whom she says: " As far back as I can remember, I knew that when I walked into my grandmother's kitchen in South Georgia, I'd find her in the kitchen with a hot batch of biscuits made from scratch." This short book reflects that warm childhood memory with paper the color of baked biscuits and simple duo- or tri-colored linocut images. Several fold out pages are included. Letter press printed in metal types on Nideggen mould made paper. Pamphlet bound with hard, split boards covered with lino-cut printed paper. Signed by the artist. This book was purchased with Kiyoko by Sara Pirkle Hughes from the Maternal Legends exhibit at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland, OR (December 5, 2008-January 3, 2009) which was juried by Cara List, Art and Architecture Librarian, University of Oregon.
