Juror Comments
This project is more artist book than mass market or trade, and it is a delight. I googled the artist/designer to find out more and discovered a website that matches the book. It is current, funny, readable, emotional, and feels very present. As a professor, I have the opportunity to see a lot of similarly speculative, exploratory artist books, and this one is accessible and smart. — Lucinda Hitchcock
