[Ho+Go]2=It

Creator:

Laxon, Ruth
|
|
Description:
|
Two pamphlet-sewn signatures with stiff board covers. Combines drawn images and writings in stream-of-consciousness type format. Images drawn on mylar and transferred to positive plates then printed off-set on Mohawk Superfine. Laxon's faux notebook has the look and feel of a children's book but is a transformation into offset printing, the philosophical and visual intensity of her intricate letterpress artist's books. Commenting on the dystopic condition of contemporary life. This book is conceived within that larger frame, but with a strong sense of the humor invoked by the "Ho" of her title. Limited edition of 500 copies.
