Barbara Bash
Many Voices, 1987
Calligraphy and Xerox on paper.
4 1/2" x 9" closed. Unique artist book.
Many artists and publishers have created new content for structures created or inspired by Hedi Kyle's "April Diary" alternating concertina form. It allows the reader to see many images at once, and is particularly valuable for artists who create books for exhibitions, where the work will be in a vitrine inaccessible to the reader.
Edna Lazaron
Terrorism, 1985
45.8 cm x 17.8 cm diameter
Two scrolls of collaged mixed media mounted on unbleached muslin in ceramic container with nails and cork top and miniature cap pistol. Edition of 6.The scroll in a vessel is among the most ancient of book forms. Here a contemporary artist utilizes our association of this form with the Dead Sea Scrolls and other relics of the Holy Land to create another visual association with the book's theme, terrorism.
