Details from Life: Sketching at the 2011 Minnesota State Fair

Description:	Editioned digital journal facsimile bound as a Japanese stab binding. The artist’s sketches from life were scanned. The book was created on the Mac using QuarkXPress. The color cover/title page inset was tipped in. Papers (various) and Irish Waxed Linen Thread. 6 inches wide x 7.25 inches tall. I am not a political artist, but thinking about the cowardly bombing on al-Mutanabbi Street reminded me that sometimes the most subversive approach we can take to win over minds is to show normalcy of a benign kind. My book documents some of my sketching adventures at the 2011 Minnesota State Fair. Every year Minnesotans exercise the right and privilege of congregating in public and exchanging ideas, from serious and frivolous. It is my fervent hope that someday people everywhere can enjoy the same expectations in their daily lives. The book is a secular prayer.
