Kingston, Ontario, Canada:: Transformer Press,, 2023.. Edition of 9. Textile book of 16 patches: 9" square closed, extends to a yard square. Meander construction. Screen printed. Set in Book Antiqua. Multi color fabrics. Signed and numbered by the artist. . Lise Melhorn-Boe: "Thank-You Note for a Quilt' is a meander book, made up with pieced fabric pages, which open in a spiral to form a 16-patch quilt in a Falling Leaves pattern. The poem, by Barbara Kingsolver, is dedicated to her friend Neta Webb-Findley, who taught Kingsolver to quilt. The text speaks about living on a piece of land for one's whole life, and sharing skills and friendship with neighbours. "As with many of the books in this series about needlework, the text is screen-printed on fabric, in an eccentric edition of 9. I also screen-printed some of the fabric, like the pieces upon which the first verse is printed. "I have relearned that it is a mistake to try to piece fabrics of different weights in a quilt, especially velvet. I did know this but wanted to use fabric I already had, left-overs from other projects, rather than buying new fabric. Much of the fabric came from my stash, which was augmented recently when a woman I know asked me to go to her deceased mother's house and take as much of HER fabric stash as I wanted. And another friend brought back some interesting printed fabrics from Indonesia and shared them with friends. "Permission to use the poem was granted by HarperCollins Publishers."

Ironing boards covered with fabric with added enhancements of doll sized clothes. Text screen-printed on cotton or linen fabrics. Signed and numbered by the artist. Lise Melhorn-Boe: "Each copy of this book is different, as I was using up fabric from my stash during the third Covid 19 pandemic lockdown. The fabrics are colour-coordinated. I had a wonderful time making the little shirts, dresses, pants and skirts—I used a YouTube video to learn how to make pleats. It took me back to my childhood when I made a lot of doll clothes. I did order the teeny tiny buttons online." The text by Lorna Crozier is one of her odes to an unlikely candidate for literary celebration - the ironing board. Of the ironing board she says "There’s no harm in it, the ironing board. It’s pared down to bare…

Materials: Legal ledger paper from the late 1800s and 1900s, museum board, hand-printed Arabic letters from magnesium plates, laser-engraved wooden boards, book cloth, stiff-leaf binding with leather wrappings connected to laser engraved camel bone pieces. Signed, numbered, and dated by the artist Islam Aly: "Statera" explores the rhombic dot system behind the Thuluth script. An Arabic, elegant, cursive writing that is used on architectural monuments and manuscripts. In Arabic, this system is called "Mizan Al Horof" (balance of letters). "Statera" shows each letter's specific structure, which is built of a significant rule: the number of dots. The 28 letters are printed in Thuluth script with vibrant red color, over regular handwritten text by ordinary people. Different styles, signatures, seals, notes, and markings from legal ledger paper contrast with the Thuluth script…

Used to manufacture plastics and resins for food and drink packaging, bisphenol A (BPA) impacts the endocrine system, impairing development and reproductive health of animals and humans. BPA analogues, including BPE and BPS, are similar reproductive toxicants with transgenerational effects. 19th century writers didn't know synthetic plastic would emerge in 1907 to change the world.

Wilson compares attorneys, defendants, judges, and people in other key roles to theatrical players, wearing predetermined costumes and participating in staged dialogue. "The heads-bodies-legs mix and match structure of the book allows readers to create new combinations. Doing so, they redefine the fifteen characters and create absurd, contradictory messages. The postface quotes the song 'There but for Fortune,' reminding readers that the role played by any given person is governed by chance as they move through interlocking systems of power." "Official…
