Notes:
Influences - Monty Python's cut-out animation. The physical structure of
the city itself with its imposing, almost fortress like components. Artist Statement - o the south and east of downtown St. Louis are two
very large infrastructure projects. These fortress-like structures are the
“fact” or reality that sparked the creation of the fiction. This book highlights
creation of fiction. This book highlights the way we build things that operate
in so many more ways than we intend. Physical Description - Laserjet printer / spiral binding. Art paper /
chipboard / plastic spiral
