I've been trying to challenge myself by making art of things that are NOT squid. Not Squid, as it turns out, are hard. I think this turned out pretty cute anyway.

Staff Pick of the Week

The semester is once again ending, and I fear we need all the help we can get to make it through these trying weeks. On that note, I bring you some help from the saints through Steven M. Krueger's Holy Raiment. Created by the artist after being inspired by letterpress and advanced fiber arts classes here at UWM, this book pairs relief prints of various objects with a corresponding saint to create a work reminiscent of a prayer book.

Of the book's construction, the artist explains:

The intimate size and shape of the reference intentionally recalls a prayer book, complete with silk ribbon marker. The hand carved imagery opposite the corresponding text serves as the identifying attribute, in keeping with the practice of representing each saint with a specific symbol or emblem. Researched and studied, this attention to details reinforced the religious theme.

When choosing saints to include in this book, Krueger picked saints that he could pair with a particular garment of clothing or items associated with getting dressed, and these pairings are included in a catalogue on the last page of the book. While the patron saint of students (Thomas Aquinas) is not included within these pages, you are still sure to find someone to help you out in the pages of this short book!

The text was compiled from various books about the lives of the saints, the text is computer-generated in Percival type, and the type and engravings are printed on white Parchtone paper.
