January 2013 Quote featured within the book: “No one has the right to live without being shocked. No one has the right to spend their life without being offended. Nobody has to read this book. Nobody has to pick it up. Nobody has to open it. And if you open it and read it, you don't have to like it. And if you read it and you dislike it, you don't have to remain silent about it. You can write to me, you can complain about it, you can write to the publisher, you can write to the papers, you can write your own book. You can do all those things, but there your rights stop. No one has the right to stop me writing this book. No one has the right to stop it being published, or sold, or bought, or read.” - Philip Pullman Dimensions: Height: 30cm Width: 21.5cm Depth: 4.5cm; Medium: Inkjet onto 40gsm standard stock, Hardbound cover, 1020 pages; Edition: Edition of 10 with 1 Artist Proof Deanna Hitti has been a professional printmaker for 12 years.

Hitti's artist's book and print based works explore how Western culture has come to form ideas and unrealistic representations of Middle Eastern customs, and beliefs learnt through art, literature, music, film, television, advertising and most recently the internet. Drawing on Western histories, stories and imaginings of the 'othered' East, Hitti's work examines new understandings and approaches to contemporary identity and difference in a changing global context. |
