Herfstvlinders (Autumn butterflies) is a collection of small poems and thoughts, pressed into fallen leaves of plants and trees. By bruising this organic material, text temporarily appears as part of the transience process. Once printed, the leaves resume their way, carried by the wind they take the words with them. To be found again, or to be overlooked.

 

Herfstvlinders is a project by Merel Slootheer realized in collaboration with Tekst in Druk. The leaves are printed on a Kelsey Excelsior Mercury Model X 6x10" table top printing press.

The 15 thoughts and poems from 2022 have been bundled into a small booklet, printed on a Hauer Record proofing press. For which the same clichés were used as for the leaves.
