washed book cloth, letterpress printed cover, closed dimensions 54 x 47 cm. Drawn, printed, bound and published by the artist in an edition of 7, 2023.
A 'cosmic'
glossary of stone lithography, Heteroglossia reveals what lies beneath the printed
pages and bears witness to the sacrificial lives silently embedded in its production. Discretely inflecting the volume’s aesthetic
qualities and content, is the 19th century Pathological Anatomy of
Robert Carswell MD. Explicitly featured, are quotations from technical
handbooks together with a polyphony of voices from diverse fields of
knowledge.
