| Note: | "The text was selected from The poetry of Arab women: a contemporary anthology edited by Nathalie Handal"--Colophon. "The presentation of this fierce and moving poem as a scroll grew out of my desire to print the entire book on one side of a single sheet. As the project developed, the choice of paper (Japanese Hosho) led to another, the choice of typeface (Garamond italic), and finally to the color palette (dun colors accented with red) and image creation (printed and laid down by hand with a brayer). A desert landscape emerged, sliced at regular intervals by sharp black vegetation"--Artist's description from Moving Parts Press website. Rolled into scroll and issued in a box 11 x 11 x 25 cm. Limited edition of 25 copies. |
