Publisher's Synopsis
A Collaboration Between Two Guggenheim Fellows.
In her foreword, Anne Murray writes, "In what appears as a semiotic symphony, this book brings together two disparate minds who appear in ether, their works a semblance of patterns emerging in a cloud, and as dust, settling into letters and shapes."
"Mozenter's cut letters and shapes are an eye chart; they test our vision. Perkis' words are stitched together with precision and awe, like Mozenter's felt. "If I could only do it over I would do it right." But "wrong" holds magic. Intuition is beauty. Love is the strongest bond."--Gail Buckland, curator, author, educator
"In ar, Philip and Cyrilla draw us into a world we're unaware of until we find ourselves there. In the way the spareness and elegance of Cyrilla's felts harmonize with Philip's gracile utterances, we come to understand how fragments make a whole. What is missing is what is there. And because we have to fill--with our imaginations--the absences, it is finally we who are there. ar is a moving and profound experience. It is a beautiful book."--Paul Kane, poet
"This is a playful exercise in freedom for this artistic couple, opposite the formal presentations normally required as part of their lengthy, well-established professional careers."--Nancy Romine Walters in The Brooklyn Rail
Poetry. Art. Hybrid. Collaboration.
