Laie, Hawai'i:: Jihae Kwon,, 2017.. Edition of 10. 8.5 x 9.125"; 15 pages. Double-sided accordion extending from front pastedown. Lithograph images. Digitally printed text. Cut-out patterns on the front cover and back side of the accordion text. Signed and numbered by the artist. A book about free-spirited feral chickens in Hawai'I where the artist now lives and teaches in the Music & Theater Arts program at the BYU campus. Jihae Kwon, colophon: "The first time I saw feral hens and roosters on the side of Kamehameha Highway, I thought they were cage-free chickens raised by someone who trusted them enough to let them roam around during daytime. Then I saw more of them on the beach. Then in the grocery store parking lot, on the school campus, in my neighbor's yard, and on the hood of my car. These homeless chickens were everywhere. I realized then they didn't belong to anyone. "They eat anything and they live everywhere. Locals don't eat them. Kids in the neighborhood use them for chicken fights. Sometimes chickens and chicks get hit by cars like other wild animals. They cluck at all hours of day and night. they are wild and free-spirited. When I see them around, I chuckle a little.

Nava Atlas: "When I began working on Deconstructing Elsie, my purpose was to create a visual exploration of the dark side of the dairy industry in a nutshell, from the heartbreaking abuse of cows (as well as the discarded calves that become veal) to pollution of soil and water, dissemination of false information, and much more in between. What I didn't expect was to find such a huge intersection between the stark facts about Big Dairy and ideas about oppression as they pertain to patriarchy and misogyny.

[No-place]: M. Wood, circa 1882. 4 5/8 x 2 7/8" yellow label or recipe slip with directions for preparing "Archangel Ox & Reindeer Tongues" distributed by "M. Wood & Co., 73, Old Broad Street." We assume the tongues were imported to England from Russia. Though no date or city appears on the label we do find mention of this delicacy in an advertisement for the "Fortnum, Mason & Co." Piccadilly "Foreign Ware House" in the Dec. 29 1882 issue of "The Pembrokeshire Herald and General Advertiser" (a Welsh newspaper digitized and available online). One handwritten correction. Very good to near fine with light staining mostly to recto. Rare glimpse into the preparation recommended for a dining delicacy that would appear to have long since fallen from favor.
