According fold. Approx 8" x 5". Limited edition, this is number 11 of 20 copies. Black canvas strip sewn to the covers with an rusted washer sew over the canvas to the front cover; the contents are a single accordion fold leaf; light wear and rubbing to the covers.

Wehr writes of herself on her website: "Most of my work relates to my experience as a European living in the U.S. . . . In my work I address the problems with complete understanding on both verbal and non-verbal levels, adaptation, nostalgia, isolation, dislocation and identity." This is an interesting artist's book containing a reproduction of the canvas on the covers that runs all along the folded leaf with images of various worn and rusted items sewn; all along, above and below the central line of canvas is a repeated photographic image of a smiling woman walking. A striking book with a remarkably small limitation made rare in commerce by the fact that nearly half the edition is held in institutions. (OCLC: 46828381).
