"The plates are photopolymer from the pen and ink drawings I did of the soil monoliths in the Maynard Fosberg Soil Monolith Collection at the University of Idaho ...The pages are sewn together in couplets, using what I call the baseball stitch, then I link the couplets together at the spine. I wanted the stitching to look like sutures. This series is an exploration of the philosophy of phenomenology and how things reveal themselves to us as we are working"--Artist's statement from Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers, website "Laid in letter-fold wrapper with paper hand-sewn at edges. Closure paper tab hand sewn to wrapper. Relief printed on Magnani Incisioni paper"--Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers, website

Some of the photographs in this book were originally part of an exhibit, but the book contextualizes the images with topical headings that mimic the text style of a newspaper. Text is also added to the pages, which are densly packed with images. This book looks at photography as a part of the modern world's overstimulation by mass media.
