Moon Moth Press is two people, two friends, two neighbors. They met over 25 years ago doing theater (she designed sets and costumes, he acted and directed).
Christine (whose maiden name is Valentine) founded Moon Moth Press over 25 years ago for her artist's books. Many of those one-of-a-kind pieces incorporated old book covers (often found by her friend David).
In years past David would make cards for Chris with old book text peeking out from behind the images.
Now they make cards together (and she complains that he no longer sends her any). And they make "reconstructed books" into journals and albums ... what else to do with all those beautiful (but tattered) volumes and the boxes & boxes of Victorian ephemera they've accumulated over the years?
