Pieces
(Tess Perez, Jonathan Alston, Terra Dawson, Sylvia Lopez
& Lolbette Moreno, forthcoming 2014)
Limited edition of 100
Fully hand-bound with original artwork, Pieces is an exploration of fairytale, of how we experience the world and internalize our actions, of how we recall memory in fragments, rearrange it, lose track of time and place, and put reality together into a form we call life.
The Book itself is a fractured narrative, both in story and in touch. Held together by only fabric, Pieces is experienced how the reader chooses.

Dream Memoirs of a Fabulist
(Doug Rice, 2011)
"It's queer, surreal, and will probably blow your mind."
-San Francisco Bay Guardian
Limited edition of 500
Bound in part by hand
$35
In his first book in nearly ten years, Doug Rice moves against the silence of paper and dreams in a meditation on desire, a memoir told and untold somewhere between image and word. Undeveloped photographs. Bodies abandoned by reflections. Mirrors gone ecstatic with wanting.
"Dream Memoirs is a beautiful book."
-William T. Vollmann

They will also speak to the creation of Dream Memoirs in their own ways, further exposing the processes of forming sentences and words and photographs, unstitching and imagining genders, and designing a book to be read in myriad ways, including touch.
