The End of the Handshake 4.5 x 6.25"; 15 pages (unnumbered). Accordion structure. Black and white photographs. Archival inkjet printing on Epson Premium Presentation using Birch Std font. Bound in black cloth over boards with round white title label on front board. Colophon presented in round matching label on back board. Numbered. Signed by the artist. Slipped In resealable plastic bag with red and black biohazard symbol. Ginger Burrell: “The Covid-19 pandemic made us re-think so many of our behaviors: grocery shopping, in-person offices, public transit. But most of all, the pandemic changed the way we greet and comfort one another. Handshakes became nods, or salutes, hugs became crossed arms over our chests or hands matched - touching through glass. Kisses were often mask-to-mask or not at all. Even with the Covid-19 pandemic officially ‘over,’ most of us still ask before greeting in any manner that involves close proximity. Gone are the days when we automatically extend a hand to shake or open our arms to hug. Will this be generational? Is it a fundamental change to our social construct? ‘The End of the Handshake’ documents the many different kinds of greetings we’ve tried and adapted to replace traditional ways of touching, of affection, and of social bonding." Colophon: "Photographs are of my brother's family who was sheltering in place during the Covid-19 pandemic. Photos were taken at a distance of more than six feet and we all wore masks." The photos demonstrate ten sets of greetings while masked from "The Wave" to "The Hip Bump". |

| Sandy Hook By Ginger Burrell San Jose, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2013. Edition of 100. 5 x 13.5"; 12 pages. Accordion structure. Archival inkjet printing on Rives BFK. Fonts are Myriad Pro and Pristina. Original portraits by the artist. Bound in paper covered boards. Signed and numbered by the artist. Colophon: "Sandy Hook memorializes the 20 children and 6 staff members killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Connecticut, on 12/14/12. All profits will be donated to the United Way fund set up to serve the community's needs." Ginger Burrell: "When the shooting happened I felt compelled to do something. Perhaps it is my 15 years as a pre-school director, perhaps it is the thought of my nieces and nephews who trustingly go off to school every day. Certainly it was because of our short social memory and the way important events fade quickly after they are no longer in the headlines. "After thinking about how to represent the children and school staff who were killed, I settled on the idea of using teddy bears for the children and apples for the adults. "After spending several days purchasing individual bears and apples, I began taking the school portraits. It got harder and harder as I worked on the book and taking the group photo left me in tears. I can't help but think of all the group photos those children will never be in: graduation, weddings, and countless family portraits. The photos are laid out in yearbook style and feature the name, birth dates and death dates for each person killed." $100 |

Original photographs by the artist inkjet printed using archival inks onto acid free cardstock. Presented with soundscape recording by Greg Burrell. Post bound with black cloth over boards.

Viewed in fog, it becomes mysterious and hints of images and stories just out of reach. "In Golden Gate Fog, the viewer listens to the rhythmic music of the ocean and fog horn recorded while the photos were taken, while viewing San Francisco as seen through a silken curtain of fog. "Journey along the coast, through the Presidio, and to various viewpoints of the bridge as you imagine the feel of the cool fog on your skin." $150 |

| One Second of Time has Conveyed to the Mind a Strange Idea of Insecurity By Ginger Burrell San Jose, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2011. Edition of 10. 9 x 8.75"; 20 pages. Accordion structure. Archival inkjet printing on Rives BFK. Font: Chiller. Bound in paper-covered boards of black, gold, and silver Pirouette Marbled Paper. Ginger Burrell: "[One Second...] is irregularly folded so that from above it alludes to the seismogram. The poetry is also written and presented in seismograph form. The cover paper [is] meant to evoke layers of sedimentary earth. "The title, One Second of Time, comes from a quote by Charles Darwin in 1839: 'A bad earthquake at once destroys the oldest associations: the world, the very emblem of all that is solid, has moved beneath our feet like a crust over a fluid; one second of time has conveyed to the mind a strange idea of insecurity, which hours of reflection would never have created.' "When I am in a big warehouse store, I think about earthquakes. When I walk across a parking structure, I think about earthquakes. When I am on vacation, I think about earthquakes. This book began as an expression of my hyperawareness. I created monoprints with jagged edges and a sense of motion, and then combined them in Photoshop with found, public domain images of earthquake damage. I then combined the imagery with poetry expressing my near obsession with earthquakes." $150 (Last two copies) |

| The Heaven Project By Ginger Burrell San Jose, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2010. Edition of 25. 14.4 x 9"; 32 pages. Composite images created from original and found photographs. Archival inkjet printing on Rives BFK. Post bound in paper covered boards. Illustrated paper title tipped on front board. Ginger Burrell: "The Heaven Project began during a trip to Yellowstone National Park during the summer of 2009. I came across a rabbit that had been run over and had the thought that bunnies must go to Heaven because obviously they were 'good.' What could a rabbit possibly do that wasn't good? I was not brought up in any specific religion, and my mental picture of Heaven is still the one I've had since I was a little girl kneeling next to my bed with my grandma teaching me the words, 'Now I lay me down to sleep.' I started to wonder where God put all of the people and animals when they go to Heaven. I asked my husband his opinion, and assumed, since he was raised Catholic, that there would be a standard answer. Instead, he told me that he thinks Heaven is individual for each person. That God grants us the Heaven we envision. If there are bunnies in my version of Heaven, then they'll be there. If my grandma is in my version, she'll be there, too. I didn't expect this answer from someone brought up with a particular church doctrine, and I started to wonder. What does each person think their Heaven will look like? I sent out an e-mail to mailing lists and listservs with the above text and asked people to send me a description of their version of Heaven. The replies are generous, trusting and sublime. It has been a gift to be allowed a glimpse into such personal visions." The Heaven Project includes 11 individual descriptions of heaven, each with a composite photograph created by Burrell. $150 |

| 50 Shades of Gray By Ginger Burrell Morgan Hill, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2015. Edition of 10. 3 x 4"; 6 pages. Bound in gray paper covers. Signed and numbered by the artist. Ginger Burrell: "When I heard about the book Fifty Shades of Grey, my first thought was of the many beautiful colors in that range. From silvers to onyx the options seem endless. I haven't actually read the book, or seen the movie, but I couldn't resist the idea of making an artist version of 50 Shades! "The book is wrapped in a delicately printed paper 'corset' which the viewer must unlace to reveal the book inside. I used one of my favorite photos, an image of a bed through a slightly open door, together with a font that best replicated my handwriting for the title. The cover is a textured handmade paper. "The pages of the book feature 50 circles cut from 50 different paint samples. The names of the paint samples have been re-imagined to better fit the bedroom tableau…. Satin Ties, Lustrous Caress, Midnight Heat. They are written in handwriting so that the viewer may experience the direct hand of the artist." (SOLD/Out of Print) |

| Assume the Position By Ginger Burrell Morgan Hill, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2013. Edition of 25. 3.75 x 6.75" closed, extends to 36"; 20 pages. Accordion fold with pop-up text. Printed with archival inkjet on Rives BFK. Bound in paper-covered boards with paper title label. Signed and numbered by the artist on the colophon. Ginger Burrell: "Assume the Position was sparked by a trip to Denver. I walked into a full body scanner at airport security and was asked to stand with my feet apart and my arms held up. At that point I realized that we’ve become both victims and assumed criminals in choosing to travel by air. "We are holding not only the position that a robber would demand, 'put ‘em up,' but also the position of body searches commanded by the police, 'put your hands above your head and spread ‘em.' "To capture these feelings I photographed people with their hands up from behind and then used digital manipulation to alter the images to evoke the x-rays to which we are now subjected. Finally, I added text with sayings that a TSA agent, a police officer, and a criminal might say to any of us." (SOLD/Out of Print) |

"At the same time, the English honey harvest was half of the normal level, and American farmers are worrying whether there will be enough bees to pollinate their crops. "The Bees Have Been Brought to Their Knees features two accordion-fold books, one explores the importance of honey bees in our agricultural system, and the other explores the potential causes currently identified, including a chemical worth billions in sales to its manufacturer."

Breathe for Those Who Cannot 3.5 x 5.25"; 46 pages. Discarded book pages torn, burned, and reassembled. Coptic stitch binding. Original poetry by the artist. Signed and numbered by the artist. Ginger Burrell: "My work often deals with difficult issues such as death, violence, and political negligence. I am always impressed at the resilience of the human spirit, especially creativity. No matter the pain, suffering, anger or despair, humans cannot help but create. "Breathe for Those Who Cannot speaks of the long history of destroying creativity, knowledge and intellect. Inevitably people in power feel threatened by communication, education and emotional connection. This artist’s book explores the hope that by continuing to be creative and, when necessary recreative, we will not only honour those who have lost their lives, but also eventually defeat the idea that destroying books and art, writers and artists, readers and intellectuals is an acceptable way to gain power. "I tried to imagine the remains of the car-bombed books on Al-Mutanabbi Street. After tearing and burning books of many languages I attempted to reassemble them into new books. Not separated into language or topic but rather reassembled as multi-lingual volumes of humanity and multicultural creativity. Bound together with the poem I wrote for the project, Breathe for Those Who Cannot is dedicated to those who continue to create, especially those who do so in fear of their own lives." |

| Empty By Ginger Burrell San Jose, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2011. Edition of 10. 4.25 x 5.25"; 8 pages. Accordion structure. Archival inkjet printing on Rives BFK. Bound in cloth-covered boards. Ginger Burrell: "Like many women, I struggle with infertility. And, like many artists, I make art about those topics which are the hardest and the most important to explore. "Empty explores infertility using the universal display of family photos. As my mother, my grandmother, and many mothers have before me, I imagined a display on the mantel of photos of my children: baby photos, first-day-of-school photos, graduation and wedding photos. Empty displays the frames sans photos. The lullabies I've hummed countless times to imaginary children weave through the book in a faded, almost transparent soundtrack." (SOLD/Out of Print) |

Book: 4 x 4"; 18 pages; archival inkjet printing on acid free cardstock; hand bound in case binding. 25 wooden cubes (.75" on a side) with eye photo on each surface. Cover and cube photos printed on HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, matte finish. Images printed from original photographs by the artist.

Ginger Burrell: "Eyes are viewed as windows - we look to them for clues to a person's emotional state, their response to our actions, and their true self behind the social facade. EYES is a photographic experiment in the expressive potential of a single eye. Each image in this book captures an eye in the moment of expression - joy, fear, concern, puzzlement, happiness. In combination, the eyes become pixels, elements of a larger image. This book includes hand-made wooden eye cubes that provide a tactile and interactive experience using eyes as design and narrative building blocks." |

Case bound in linen book cloth with unique cover embellishment. Ginger Burrell: "The sepia-toned photographs create a warm tapestry of hands at work, at play, and in interaction. By focusing solely on the hands, the images capture emotion as expressed in body language. Each photograph has a unique story reflected in definitions of hand-related words." (SOLD/Out of Print) |

I'm Telling You Now 4.25 x 5.25"; 8 pages. Accordion structure with simple pop-up. Archival inkjet printing on Rives BFK. Ginger Burrell: "I am the 'one in four women who will experience sexual violence in their lifetime,' I am a survivor of rape. I tell my story because it is not a secret. I did nothing wrong and, if I tell you, we share the responsibility and the weight of it. I don't have to shoulder it all by myself any longer. "I'm Telling You Now emphasizes the power of secrets and the way that we keep them — because of the shame and the fear that we were somehow responsible. "When I shared this book during my BFA show, women came up to me and told me their stories, right there in the gallery. Women called me days later and told me their stories. They said things like, 'I've never told anyone, but I know you will understand.' And by telling each other our stories, I realized in those moments that we were taking away the power of the people who hurt us." |

King Donald Presented in a custom wooden "ballot" box with gold and animal print design. Features a crown with "rigged ballots" on the box. Inside is a coptic-bound book (44 pages) with ballot cover, king and joker playing cards, vellum and Epson Premium Presentation Paper pages. Archival inkjet printing. "King Donald" documents the more than 200 direct quotes of Donald Trump in his attempt to undermine the election process in the United States. Ginger Burrell: "The post-truth world ushered in by President Trump is occurring at the same time that almost everything is documented and archived. King Donald presents more than 200 direct quotes by Donald Trump in his attempt to undermine the integrity of the United States election process. From tweets in 2012 until well after the election was called for President-Elect Biden, it is clear that Donald Trump had a long-term strategy based on a powerful technique used in advertising - repetition. "It is hardly surprising that Donald Trump's followers believe the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent. How could they believe otherwise when bathed in this constant and strident messaging? Mr. Trump's tweets foreshadowed his attempt to stay in power since the day he was elected in 2016. His bombast and circus-like presentation have obscured shrewd tactics and clear signaling. 'Get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very peaceful - there won't be a transfer, frankly. There will be a continuation. The ballots are out of control.' 9/23/20" |

King George 6.5 x 3.5"; 8 playing cards. Mixed media artists' book. Materials: tin hinged box, playing cards, polymer clay, metal rings, bookcloth, paper. Archival inkjet printing on vellum. Accordion fold jump ring construction. Signed and dated by artist on bottom of metal container. Laid in clamshell box with playing card faces around edges. This artists’ book features “Bush-isms.” Sayings that were widely collected during the presidency of George W. Bush. Ginger Burrell: "In September 2001, for a fleeting moment the majority of the world was united in the common purpose of defending humanity and defeating terror. "President Bush chipped away at this solidarity. His behavior, words, and policies affected not only the American people, but also the citizens of the larger world. "As we passed the 10 year anniversary of 9/11, we wondered how long will we suffer the consequences of President Bush and his choices? What was at first a funny book has become a worrisome reminder. "King George was chosen for the 'From Sham to Shame' show at the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago in 2007. King George was also selected for the '6th Annual Juried Book Arts Exhibit' at Bright Hill Press in New York in 2007." |

| Loves Me / Not By Ginger Burrell San Jose, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2011. Edition of 10. 1.75 x 5.25 x 1.75"; 12 pages. Archival inkjet printed on Rives BFK. Bound in cloth boards with black ribbon tie. Ginger Burrell: "We've all felt them, the rollercoaster ups of being in love and the screaming downs of being hurt. Loves Me / Not is a collection of real stories gathered from women of all ages about times that they felt loved and times that they felt hurt, betrayed, and left behind. The stories are tender, poignant, and funny. "The accordion book has fold-up leaves to create a pocket, and features the reoccurring motif of a daisy – who hasn't plucked those petals at least once? The structure is printed so that when the stories are pulled out, the daisies are still complete. The closed book is tied with a black ribbon, recalling old stacks of love letters."

Paper Dolls 3.5 x 4.5"; 66 leaves. Altered book using "The Complete Book of Sewing" by Constance Talbot (1943). Collage and sewing. Coptic binding. Materials: recycled book pages, pattern papers, thread. Arhival inkjet printed cotton. Laid in custom clamshell box (4.5 x 5.5 x3.25") with sides and interior covered in dressmaking pattern paper. Signed and numbered by the artist. Ginger Burrell: "Paper Dolls began as a feminist manifesto about the role of women in society past and the ever present attempts to return women to that role. In the entire book, The Complete Book of Sewing by Constance Talbot (1943), there was only one photograph of a man sewing and he was listed as the expert. Over time, however, Paper Dolls became a sentimental journey through my childhood. As I wrote the poetry, I realized that so much of how I make art now was influenced by the time I spent then with my mother imagining, designing, and creating clothing. Every trip to the fabric store was a lesson in color theory, textures, and attention to detail. Sensory memories of whispery pattern paper, the whirring sewing machine and being pricked with pins, still in the garment, began to rearrange my ideas. "The finished book is multi-layered with original poetry printed on cotton patterned fabric, pages made of layered pattern paper, and pages of the original book." |

| Public Privacy By Ginger Burrell Morgan Hill, California: Midnight Moon Press, 2015. Edition of 10. Two-section divided box with book and slide viewer. Book: 2.25 x 2.25"; 12 photographic slides in pocket pages; 32 page pamphlet stitch book; accordion envelope structure; paper button and thread closure. Box: 5 x 5 x 2.75 x 3"; paper covered; hinged lid; button and thread closure. Signed and numbered by the artist. Ginger Burrell: "Public Privacy examines the tension between our need for privacy and the transparency of modern life. "Just as our windows allow us to see out during the day, at night they become view screens to the passerby. Our devices allow us great personal freedom, but at what personal cost? Whether through open curtains or social media posting our permission to watch is implicit. In an age of Facebook, Instagram and Google Earth how is it that we have any expectation of privacy at all? "Public Privacy highlights the way that we have made our lives more accessible by virtue of the devices, companies, and services that surround us. Whether by the cameras on our tablets, game consoles, and computers; by the GPS trackers in our phones and cars; or by the data gathering of our entertainment and shopping choices, our lives have become open books."

Box: 5.75 x 7 x1.5"; cloth covered; button and tie closure; metal corner guards at bottom; metal title label. Test tubes: 1" diameter, 6.25" high with cork stopper. Title tags: 1.5 x 1" with book title inserted. Numbered on cover label. Ginger Burrell: "It is not hard to imagine, in a not-so-distant future, a time when all but a few physical books have been destroyed. Perhaps to make room for more people, perhaps because everything has been digitized, or perhaps because they are no longer valued. "Reliquary represents the rarity of the last remaining paper copies. As with the fragments of the holy, the volume is too precious for anyone to hold in its entirety. Instead, small preserved pieces are parsed out to those most suitable to protect them, or those wealthy enough to acquire public treasure for private use. "Each Reliquary features 5 different books, 50 titles in total. Books are library discards that are shredded and displayed in glass test tubes with a cork stopper, sealed with beeswax, and tied with tag titles cut from the original books. Each set of 5 test tubes is presented in a display case." (SOLD/Out of Print) |

Un[Hood]ed 8.75 x 11.5"; 23 leaves + front flyleaf. Printed on white vellum and Epson Premium Presentation paper with laser toner and archival inkjet. The font is Consolas. Bound in quarter cloth hard cover with screw post binding. Presented in a white sheet case. Signed and numbered by the artist. The photograph "White Supremacists March with Torches in Charlottesville" is used with permission and by licensing agreement of Getting Images/Anadolu Agency. Ginger Burrell: "Un[Hood]ed examines the alarming audacity demonstrated by white supremacists in the United States. Once hidden under homemade white robes, today's alt-right members feel emboldened, empowered, and unafraid of the consequences of their racism. They no longer feel that they have to hide their identities. "Un[Hood]ed looks at the direct and indirect messages from President Donald Trump to white nationalists. While he frequently claims ignorance of such a movement, his behavior and language tell another story. "Un[Hood]ed documents Donald Trump's actions and own words from 1973, when his firm was charged with housing discrimination, to his administration's dismissal of the 2017 mosque bombing; a pattern that leads to the Charlottesville Riots. It documents Donald Trump's encouragement of aggression and downright violence towards anyone who isn't part of the 'right' side and his sympathy for people who 'love their country' so much that they have to hurt others." |

You've Come a Long Way, Baby Pink purse (10.75 x 9.5 x 2.75" with handles and zipper closure) with contents of cigarette box, matchbook, ashtray, and handkerchief. Mixed media. Found photographs and ephemera.
Housed in 12.5 x 10 x 3" white box with removable lid. Ginger Burrell: "You've Come a Long Way, Baby was inspired by an ashtray I found in my grandma's things after she passed away. You can see the ashtray, open, in the middle, with the little flip book in it. The ashtray, called a Silent Butler, was named after the device used in the late 1800s to collect table crumbs and ashes. The cigarette pack has an accordion book inside with vintage advertisements, aimed at women, from the early 1900s to the 1970s juxtaposed with passages from medical books from the same timeframe. There is a paragraph from a 1960's era medical book that informs ladies that, although they probably won't feel like smoking for the first three months of their pregnancies, they'll be fine to resume in the next trimester. "The book in the Silent Butler ashtray is a flip book with a girl about the age my grandmother was when she started smoking. She is holding a cigarette and as you flip the pages her lungs change from pink to an unhealthy shade. It ends, perhaps a bit melodramatically, with a gravestone. "The matchbook has a vintage ad on the back and stats on the front about a depressing term called YPLL: Years Per Life Lost. In the case of smokers, the CDC estimates YPLL of 12 years per person. "The last element, a handkerchief made using printable cotton, features the colophon dedicated to my grandma, Virginia Elizabeth Ginn." |
