14 bound letterpress printed reduction linoleum cuts with handset type. Readers create new combinations of characters by turning pages. Pages are horizontally tri-sected and each segment can be flipped independently of one another to create hybrid, "exquisite corpse" style illustrations. Edition 1 of 15. From the artist: "Working Together is inspired by examining and practicing collaboration, as well as political displays of disregard for others. Though mix-and-match books are typically for children--the same phase of learning good manners--I made Working Together to acknowledge overlapping modes in working relationships. Rather than a skill mastered in childhood, I think of cooperation as a series of ongoing choices."
