2002, 6 1/4" x 4 1/4 x 1 1/4", $450.00
A letterpress printed set of 5 magic wallets, provoked by the events of 9/11/01, which address the cacophony of news reports, emotions, analysis and opinions
(expert and otherwise) that follow in the wake of any major news event. The righteous indignation and reciprocal intolerance whitewashed by ideals from religion
to political correctness raise the question of personal belief. Using the magic wallets format, the book panels flip back and forth from two opposing statements,
which reflect the slipperiness of forging a personal philosophy. Each of the texts has three layers, the pairs of the basic statements in large type, an underlying
stream-of-consciousness narration in small type and the 10 sets of words from the Pythagorean table of opposites printed in transparent ink. The wallets are contained
in a Japanese box wrapper with bone clasps made by Rosa Guimaraes. Printed with the assistance of interns Paula Naughton and Nancy Campbell during the Sally R. Bishop
artist's residency at the Center for Book Arts, New York, NY. Edition of 50 sets.
