The connective tissue that transforms a circle into a letterform is only as strong as the imagination and consensus of the community for whom that circle represents the letter O."--Book artist's statement, in prospectus. 500 $a "One hundred sixteen copies of Roma Abstract were printed letterpress from photopolymer plates by Nancy Loeber. The paper is 30 lb. Chartham Translucent, stab-sewn into black Plike covers. The book is housed in a frosted acrylic slipcase made by Canal Plastics."--Prospectus, laid in. 500 $a "The book's cover is printed with the text from the inscription on Trajan's column, the letterforms of which are widely regarded as the apotheosis of Roman alphabetical form."--Prospectus, laid in. 520 $a A geometric alphabet based on Greek, Etruscan, and Roman letterforms. The laid in prospectus containing the artist's statement, which offers Maret's only text, explains the book is also intended as a political statement "echoing the absurd mockery of statehood in which we find ourselves living." 500 $a Library copy is 19 of 116 and signed by the artist.
