Ron Lessard - DIY Practitioner [Beniffer Ed., 2011]
36 page 8x8" screen printed book with individually collaged covers by the artist.
Edition of 120 copies.
"Submerging a found image with an iconic squiggle has become a signature look for an aesthetic that has travelled now into its fourth decade. This release is a dedication to a person who is up to this point not officially recognized as a visual artist. If you follow the noise thing, the tape thing, the weird thing or the massachusetts thing you may have an original piece of artwork in your record collection worth well over the price of admission. Beniffer Editions replicates the tireless efforts of the experimental scene's most valiant visual manipulator.
Ron's technique derives from the necessity to put good noise product out there. His work is quick, uses stuff that's lying around, and is built like a tank often due to a colored strip of duct tape. His one off collages on many releases such as "The Best", "Moonlight In Vermont", "The Dog Lady Tapes", 1000 Locked Grooves" display the rigor of a dedicated pioneer. There's no music with this book. If there was it wouldn't be a release by Ron Lessard.
This 36 page handprinted book contains six 4 color screen prints, twenty-four 2 color prints, and six 1 color prints. Each book, in true form has an original collage submitted by the artist specifically for this publication. A one time pressing of 120."
