I Want

description

RONA PONDICK, "I want", 1996, is a limited edition artists' book consisting of artist designed covers and four double page accordian fold sheets published by I.C. Editions, a division of Susan Inglett Gallery. The edition was printed in lithography by Derriere L'Etoile Studios, NYC using 18 aluminum plates and nine colors. The edition numbers 25 with 7 Artist's Proofs. Each double page spread measures 11" by 29 3/8". Each double page spread will also be offered as a single print in an edition of ten.

Pondick has selected the book format as the perfect vehicle for her explorations of desire. Here repetition provides not only a formal structure for the work, as exhibited in the sculpture, but a metaphorical one. The mantra-like repetition of the text, I want, enveloped by the wrappers of the book becomes the physical embodiment of secret or hidden desires.
