Fionnuala Hart Gerrity Belmont, Massachusetts A Mythological Bestiary “This book uses the medieval tradition of the bestiary to introduce mythological creatures from various cultures. I wanted to marry the aesthetic of illuminated manuscripts with more modern printmaking methods to create an edition that would maintain the feel of a hand written work. I experimented with a combination of letterpress printing from magnesium dies and hand painting to achieve a balance between technology and traditional craftsmanship.” Letterpress printed text and linework with hand coloring in watercolor and acrylic.
