Faves of 2023: Van Plating - Orange Blossom Child

In November, we wrote a review of Van Plating’s excellent “Orange Blossom Child.” The record is not only one of our favorites of 2023 but carries an important legacy forward. Honestly, that review still expresses some of the reasons that her record spoke to us here at Your Tuesday Afternoon Alternative. It was a real, authentic record made by a true original.

im gonna be honest, even if i ever did recognise a reported missing child case i would not be calling someone about it bc i've read way too many articles about how many kidnapping cases are runaways/dv situations. like you have to really be on a stranger danger fantasy to presume 'finding' the person is always the best outcome for them

It’s Fine Press Friday! 

Today’s selection hails from the renowned Janus Press in Newark, Vermont. Bone Songs, a non-adhesive woven-vellum bound book featuring poems composed by writer and printer Clifford Burke (b. 1942) along with polymer relief plate prints of line drawings by artist and curator Ruth Fine (b. 1941), was originally conceived in (and inspired by) New Mexico in 1992 by artist, illustrator, printmaker, typographer, and JP founder Claire Van Vliet (b. 1933). The work was produced in its finalized form with assistance from Lidk Wray & Audrey Holden. The Janus Press is known for creating "works of art in book form", and this unique publication is no exception.  

This signed (by Burke, Fine, and Van Vliet) limited edition of 150 copies was letterpress printed in Gils Sans Light font on 40 sheets of french-folded Barcham Green Royal Watercolour Society paper. The text block is encased in a cardboard shell wrapped in stretched natural pig parchment. This feature highlights the corporeal nature of the book, which is echoed by Fine’s crudely rendered skull illustrations and Burke’s incantations of the bare bones that haunt and adorn the landscape of the American Southwest. It also brings to mind performance artist Janine Antoni’s 2000 sculptural work “Saddle”, which Antoni describes “like a ghost” as holding “the memory of the artist’s body”. Much like Antoni’s work, Bone Songs evokes the spirit of its content through its physical form.    

This is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff

Y'know how cats are often drawn to people don't like them? Well, Dutch is a bit cat-coded, isn't he? I could see him drawn to his dislikers and he'd do things like knock over their glass of drink on the table, and then sits in their lap and gives a head boop. And demands pets.

Congratulations, you've adopted a cat.
