“An Other Story” By Blount & Rollins College Students 2021 Leporello accordion book with letterpress & digital prints on French Speckletone paper and binders board. Closed dimensions 8 5/8” tall x 6” wide. By Ben Blount & Gaby Clark Anastasia Dresden Emma Jones Emma Lostutter Madisen Mendoza Maddie Moreland Claudia Prado Melissa Rodriguez Liv Sala Sam Shelly Rachel Simmons Nana Takano Haley Van Doren This project originated from Blount’s powerful artists book “First Impressions” in which he asked participants to recount the first time they felt othered. Blount put the same question to students in Rachel Simmons’ book arts class in spring 2021. The students responded through personal writing & bold imagery, then designed and printed folios on their provisional presses using metal type and other relief printmaking materials. Their folios addressed a range of personal experiences with feeling demeaned and marginalized—culturally, physically, socially. They responded to the prompt with honesty and courage. For almost every student in class, this was their first time working with letterpress, and they were inspired to take on that challenge by Blount’s bold use of typography in his work. Blount designed & printed the striking covers and Simmons did the colophon and assisted with assembling the edition of 20. The book is now part of the Rollins Book Arts Collection. This project was made possible by a grant from the Rollins College Thomas P. Johnson Visiting Artist & Scholar Program. #bookasart #bookmaking #makingbooks #printmaker #letterpressprinting #letterpresslove #rollinsprintmaking #rollinscollege #rollinsalumni #rollinsarts #rollinsbookartscollection #othered #benblount #arteducation (at Rollins College, Winter Park FL 32788) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO3ryAdhAWW/?igshid=peag8tla3dfu

Many thanks to the awesome staff @cfamrollins for installing our project Visible Climate for the 2021 Faculty Exhibition at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum which opens Friday! I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s going to be an incredible show with new work from my talented colleagues @dawnroe @dana_hargrove @cowboyulysses Also, it turns out that my Visible Climate collaborator @el_bosque_nublado is also a human-yardstick! So handy! Still uncovering his talents after ten years of collaboration 😂 I’ll post the finished installation pics tomorrow! #cfamrollins #rollinscollege #rollinscollegealumni #rollinsarts #rollinsprintmaking #rollinsbookarts #visibleclimate #visibleclimatebook (at Rollins College, Winter Park FL 32788) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNVuZLEhJ_7/?igshid=81qpeyrv9yxu

Making structural models for my artist’s book assignment—limiting materials to stuff students might already have around the house like text weight copier paper, glue sticks and stencils.
