With the input of Brad Freeman, Editor of JAB The Journal of Artists' Books, and I the concept evolved into the object you hold in your hands. the O-Mi Motel is a one star motor court that, at the time of this publication, was still standing on North Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, IL. the images in this publication were gathered from the participants who ventured to Room # 7 at the motel. The text pieces were generated by writers and artists who were inspired by the particular space. ROOM was printed at the Center for Book and Paper Arts in Chicago in early 2013." - Brandon Graham, Editor, Room: O-Mi Motel
