Description
"What happened, reader, where you are? What happens there today? asks the artists' book Site. Inspired by her discovery of
a slave auction block on the first morning in her new town of Charlottesville, VA, Lyall Harris grapples with US history in
a project where content is revealed and supported through its material components. With assistance from papermaker Dieu Donné,
Harris created a watermark broadside, the key component of an artists' book that both points to the past and brings the reader
into an awareness of present"--Vamp & Tramp, Booksellers website.
