Informazioni sul libro
The book combines color plates of all 72 works in the series Fulgurite with 40 pages of excerpts from the artist's notebooks giving insight in the climate of mind that gave rise to the Fulgurite cycle. The unifying theme of the series is the attempt to chart the trajectory of the imagination in the changing guise of the pencil, the artist's tool par excellence. Extreme states of mind are captured in the media of cast wax, lithography and drawing on Formica.

“When lightning strikes sand, ... the searing heat continues into the sand, leaving its imprint in the shape of a hollow, jagged tube of molten glass named “Fulgurite,” which in my mind has always been connected with the artist's legacy, with capturing the flash of the imagination in the shape of resistant matter.” From the Preface.

Herlinde SPAHR
Orinda, CA

Herlinde Spahr was born in Antwerp, Belgium and came to California in 1977 as a graduate student in Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley. Parallel with her studies, she pursued her interests in the visual arts, especially stone lithography. At the completion of her studies, she had become a master printer and exhibiting artist which led her to to forgo an academic career and set up her studio, Lithium Press. With the lithographic stones becoming too heavy to handle, Spahr began executing her images on Formica, durable panels with a grain and hardness similar to limestone, thereby fusing printmaking and painting techniques. Spahr's work is included in 60 Years of American Prints, 1947-2007 and in The Best of Printmaking. An International Collection, 1997. The Monterey Museum of Art featured her large format work in a one person exhibition in 2021, entitled The Precipice Within.
