Nao falo Portuguese
Artists' book single color offset print hand colored with watercolor and pencil on Magnani PESCIA 2021/P 100% cotton 300gsm paper, with Japanese lace 25gsm paper and colored tracing 80gsm paper.
13cm x 21cm, bound in vintage fabrics by Peter Stewart-Warmington.
Printed by Hart Printing.
Edition of 10, 2000.
Nao falo Portuguese was launched with the generous assistance of Dr. Carlos Lemos at the Portuguese Consulate, on Toorak Road, Hawthorn East.
Each cover from this edition of ten varied, sometimes slightly, sometimes a great deal. Some came in patterned green silk with an indigo section running along the spine whilst others were bound using a heavy weight linen littered with large ochre hued blooms.
The title for this book loosely translates as "I don't speak Portuguese". To this day, neither of us do.
