from the Banff Centre Press:

In this elaborately conceived and well-developed artist book, Liz Magor and Joey Morgan explore the romantic associations with European culture and North American nature through an interplay of texts and images on translucent paper. The evocative photographs warrant close examination and, as critic Johanna Drucker describes, “are particularly well printed and reward intense observation.” Clever and compelling, this artist book is a significant visual artwork."

“[This] book has as one of its major virtues the fact that it provides a genuinely visual experience. This is not a book about visuality, but it is a book whose integration of elements succeeds in visual terms, formal terms, not because these are elegant, but because the ideas in the book were thought into form through visual means.”
-Johanna Drucker, American Book Review
