Amy Robinson – Suspended; Without Sinking
Much about this book is perfect. It is quiet and unimposing book; deceptive in its simplicity. From layers of overlapping, translucent pages images and occasional text snippets emerge.The translucent pages are of different heights, so the glimpses of the images underneath emerge with varying degrees of clarity. The text is minimal, the drawings well executed. It ends with the simple phrase Thank You
This little gem is in a variable edition of 7 copies. The book price is $175.

It looks beautiful, it would be nice to be able to see more pages. I like the composition and the space created by the placement of the faint creatures.
