Scripps College Typography Class: Word That Burn. / Kitty Maryatt, editor., 1996

 Item
Identifier: CC-27686-28774
Scope and Contents

This book was written and designed by the Scripps College typography class under the direction of Kitty Maryatt. The project was to make "Chinese" (in this case Western) spirit papers from handmade paper with the students adding elements to the pulp as a way to insert small poignant messages each wrote for this project. Chinese spirit papers were burned in ceremonies to honor ancestors. Several examples of handmade paper were used throughout the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Scope and Contents Each page has been treated by routing out all the text horizontally with a rotating tool such that the cancellation process takes place word by word. This process is imperfect so that some of letters and fragments of words still remain. The spine of the book has been deliberately cracked to allow the book to be displayed in its opened state.
