1978. Michael's Hospital Art therapy book 4 Alfred
I originally gave this as a present to my friend Alfred Harris. Even though I had fun cutting & tearing & marking the pages it wasn't as rigorous a production method as I usually preferred so I laughingly called it my "Hospital Art therapy" as if I were just working through my difficult feelings or some such. In retrospect, I like the book as an interesting physical experience to flip through.
I reposessed it from Alfred for an Artists's Book Show at the Enoch Pratt Free Library Central Branch in 1980. After the show, I didn't give it back to Alfred. I doubt that he ever cared about it so it probably wasn't a big deal. The presence of smoke damage shows that it was in my South BalTimOre apartment in 1985 when the place was set on fire by an arsonist. Below are 4 pages in sequence that give a little idea of what it's like as a reading process:
I made other one-of-a-kind 'artist books' at the time but this is the only one I've chosen to call attention to for the moment.
