An artist's book by New York-based mixed-media artist Tamar Halpern (b. 1979); reproductions of abstract manipulated photographs of an expressionistic nature. About half of the leaves have had portions torn away, thus revealing glimpses of those below and lending the work a unique, dimensional quality. Self-published in conjunction with Tony Wight Gallery, Chicago, where Halpern staged a 2008 show. Her work has been exhibited widely, including at MoMA P.S.1, Sculpture Center, The Journal Gallery, etc. OCLC locates only a single holding, at the Whitney.
