"Food pops off plates on this table-top sized book made of tablecloths. The text about toxins in our food is hand-printed on the napkins."--Artist's website, Mar. 16, 2012.
"[Sixteen] pages with eight 2-page pop-up spreads. Cover with title in felt letters that have been sewn onto printed fabric. Base constructed from found tablecloths. Each book is unique in that the tablecloths vary over the edition. Other materials: fabric swatches, various papers, plastic utensils."--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, Mar. 16, 2012.
This book is accordion-folded and constructed from found tablecloths with sewn-on fabric, felt, and paper representing dinner plates and food on the plates; plastic utensils sewn on either side of the 'plates' to resemble table settings. Information about food contamination is written on the cloth representing the napkins by the plates. When the pages are unfolded, the piece lays out like a table set for dinner. Title created from cut-out letters sewn on front cover. - Local Note:
- Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library copy is number 3.
