ideas of god : a ceaseless wandering pa-limp-sest bōk : an opuscule of tiny mirrors seeking a single grand image

Description: With expressive typography offering riffs of word, symbol, drawings, dingbats, creative punctuation, and more Laxson gives free rein to her nimble mind as she explores the concept of the god. She cites three books as references: Erring by Mark C. TaylorThe Alphabet Versus the Goddess by Leonard Shlain, and Straw Dogs by John Gray. Save yourself the trouble: spend the time smiling as you think along with ideas of god.--Vamp &ampTramp Booksellers website (accessed June 27, 2018).The themes of science and universality reflect my attitudes about religion. I grew up being saturated in fundamentalist thinking and religion, so that, forever, is something I have to deal with. Books are a good place to put that. I think that we are all bound together, but various things have separated us like religion. I have this idea that church pews should face each other, instead of facing east, and look into each others eyes....Perhaps beneath the clutter and the information glut, some things are sacred. But how would we know? When, by the mere fact of showing itself, the sacred hides itself and thus the vicious circle continues.--Artist statement from Vamp &ampTramp Booksellers website (accessed June 27, 2018).I-ART: Library has copy no. 5, signed by the author.
