Copy #1 of twenty numbered copies, signed by the artist. Apart from the justification statement, a dark, functionally textless artist's book, featuring ghostly serigraphed images rendered doubly obscure by their appearance in the context of a long cascade of thin rectangular shapes blurred to the extent that they present a repetitive pattern almost like the appearance of laid bricks, all in somber blacks and grays. In an interview, the artist asserted that this work was a product of his mindset after his divorce. (Inventory #: WRCLIT74679)
