Sedna and the Fulmar, embossed book by Ron King, 2017

The book retells the story of the young woman Sedna, tricked by a mysterious lover, then betrayed by her father and ultimately magically transformed into a sea goddess who is central to Inuit belief. 

The book, almost entirely uses blind embossing to make shadows of the images and Inuktitut words. These, as well as light toned letterpress of Richard prices’ poems, create an atmosphere of soft yet austere definition, inscribing sensual and increasingly dramatic outlines into a landscape of snow and ice.
