"I am interested in what I see in paintings as well as what the paintings see in me. I try, facing works of art, to inhabit a "between" in which a reciprocal distillation can occur. I found in certain Mary Heebner watercolors a resonating psychic stimulation, and attempted to improvise on the words, narrative nodes and associational "chains" they flushed forth." -Eshleman
"A number of my paintings and collages inspired Clayton Eshleman to write the poems presented in this portfolio. Words conjure images and sometimes images leap into words." -Heebner
About the Press: Simplemente Maria Press was founded in 1995 by Mary Heebner with the publication of Old Marks, New Marks. The Press unites inspirations from travel with the groundedness of studio-based work and the art of papermaking by creating handmade books that couple visual art with the written word. Heebner's artwork and writing, as well as collaborative endeavors with poets such as Pablo Neruda, Alastair Reid, Michael Hannon and Sienna Craig, are integrated into the design, concept, and substance of each book produced by the press.
Artist's books from Simplemente Maria Press are in several private and public collections. These include: The National Gallery of Art, The John Paul Getty Research Institute, The University of California, The Library of Congress, Cornell University, The US Chancery (Moscow), The British Library, Stanford University, Swarthmore College, Santa Barbara Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others.
