| Bagdad reads * Fragments
: Penny Peckham, Melbourne, Australia, October 2012 Bagdad reads * Fragments is a collection of linocut printed and typewritten text fragments taken from the history of Baghdad as a centre of learning, from Iraqi poetry and descriptions of this project, An Inventory of Al-Mutanabbi Street. The words are printed on very light, somewhat transparent paper, suggesting the fragility of the situation for the booksellers of al-Mutanabbi Street. The red of the rather messy pastepaper cover also makes reference to the destruction of the bombings. Dimensions: 21 x 10 cm; Medium: linocut prints on Okawara paper, pastepaper cover. http://wordandimage-pennypeckham.blogspot.com.au |
