This book was modeled after the popular Victorian parlor game, the Exquisite Corpse. It was played by a number of people, each drawing one segment of a "corpse" on an accordion-folded piece of paper. Each segment was drawn without seeing the rest of the corpse. That was how Separated at Birth was written and illustrated. One of the authors wrote a paragraph and sent a sentence to the other, which then became the first sentence of their paragraph Octavo. Unpaginated. Ten woodcuts in blue, black, and red by the authors. Printed on Rives Heavyweight in Times New Roman and Futura types. Taupe cloth with red lettering on the front cover in an accordion-style binding. Lower back cover slightly bumped and slight staining on the lower front cover. A near fine copy. Of 35 copies, this is number 28, signed in ink by the authors on the colophon. Mare Blocker founded the M Kimberly Press is 1984 and specializes in printmaking, book arts, and drawing. She worked as the Visiting Instructor of Art at Whitman College and a Workshop Instructor in bookbinding at the Missoula Art Museum.

Center for Book Arts (illustrator). 11" x 11" Round shaped, case bound concertina, with printed navy Iris cloth on both the book covers and lidded clamshell box. n.p. Limited to an edition of 50 signed and numbered copies. Istoriato is an Italian narrative style of pottery decoration which uses the pottery body solely as support for a purely pictorial effect. Originating about 1500 in Faenza, Italy, paintings comparable in seriousness to Italian Renaissance easel paintings were applied to Maiolica ware. The subjects, biblical, historical, and mythological scenes, are executed with a realism (including the use of perspective) quite unlike any previous pottery decoration. Although violating aesthetic rules in their subordination of shape to decoration, such wares remain works of great skill, as well as beauty. During her Sally R. Bishop residency at the Center, Mare Blocker explored how the design of this pottery changed with the invention of the printing press. Multiple color linoeleum blocks and type were printed on Magnani Pescia. Produced at the Center for Book Arts, each boxed set also includes a unique plate decorated in the style of Maiolica pottery. Round shaped, case bound concertina, with printed navy Iris cloth on both the book covers and lidded clamshell box.
