Place of publication: Boca Raton, Fla
Language: eng
Subjects: Artists' books; In art; Ecology in art; Environmental responsibility
Notes: Produced as an homage to Marjory Stoneman Douglas and her seminal book "The Everglades: River of Grass."

"The seven images ... in the book were produced from historic images ... as well as the artist's own photographs. The photographs of the Everglades were combined with the historic images on the computer ... Ghost-like images reflecting the history of the Everglades combine with the disastrous effects of industrial mismanagement..." -- Bookseller's description.

Images and text on Yu Kou heavy paper, interleaved with Yu Kou light paper. Loose leaves, housed in an envelope made of terracotta Lokta oil paper, fastened with a tie around a lozenge-shaped seed pod from a mahogany tree, made to evoke what an early settler might have used to carry a parcel of documents.

In an edition of 36 hand-numbered and signed copies.
