Moss writes, "Several years ago Iwas at a prant fair in Brooklyn and met a wonderful young artist named Chris Kline...I wondered what an alphabet book might be like using the rather eclectic set of symbols of the Paleo-Hebrew interpreted in Chris's brilliant style...I did the set of letters in black and white fleshed out somewhat into the third dimension. I told Chris what animal or object each letter originally was based on and let him do his magic. It took years to complete the book, but the result was amazing. Chris printed the whole book by hand in serigraphy in bright vibrant florescent colors. The whole is my attempt to explore, honor and memorialize in a very contemporary form this incrediibly simple but remarkably impactful invention - the Alphabet.' -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
