Title from portfolio.

Consists of 15 multiple thickness sheets of Rives BFK and Moriki papers bound front and back in a non-adhesive binding structure designed by Daniel E. Kelm and executed at Wide Awake Garage (for discussion of the binding technique, cf. Drucker, p. 12). First and last 7 sheets are divided by a jagged laser-cut line at the center, so that they open to either side. Illustrated throughout with colored shapes on a black background, some produced by cutouts in the top layer of paper or by collage. "Processes include relief rolled etching, intaglio, collage, pen & ink drawing, and watercolor painting"--Colophon (on portfolio). Etchings were editioned by Katherine Kuehn at Ricochet Works.

For discussion, cf. Drucker, p. 13-14.

Issued in stiff paper portfolio illustrated by the same techniques, and a black cloth solander case by Jill Jevne with collaged ill. on front and spine.
