"OZ : July - Aug 2015" by Brad Freeman
Freeman, Brad. OZ : July - Aug 2015. Chicago, Illinois: [JAB Books], 2016.
"Oz is a visual poem based on photographs taken during my stay in Australia in July and August, 2015. The impetus for the trip was the Artist Book Brisbane Event (ABBE) at the Queensland College of Art. The photographs retain a trace of their documentary aspect and provide the foundation for this poetic response to a history of Australia, which starts and ends in a conception of Aboriginal dream time. This book was created before and during the printing - printed sheets provided areas, forms, and ideas to grow the project in ways unseen at the beginning."--Info from colophon.
Sewn into the colophon pages of the book is another, small book (there are actually two small books sewn into OZ). The little book in the colophon area contains all the words that are printed in OZ ... OZ is a visual poem, but in fact there are a lot of words in it and the words are very much a part of the meaning of the book."--Artist's statement.
