1984; edition of 50 13.5 x 9.25 in, 343 x 235 mm. Formed from I7 joined sheets: 68 concertina-folded pages as one long strip, pasted onto heavy endboards of varnished wood, in a slipcase. Silkscreened by Jim Birnie at Norwich School of Art on Heritage Rag acid-free pa per. "I wrote and artworked the book in three parallel and overlapping lines that run its length disregarding the concertina folds. The centre line records a conversation that took place between 'A' and 'B'. It stands as a proposition for a piece of sculpture, and also floats whisky on 'an ocean made of paper'. The other two lines help or hinder the progress of this notion: all three lines are in expanded or condensed woodletter forms deployed to assist this book's stammering progress from l eft to right.
