Notes:

"Sarah M. Smith is an artist working in the realm of humor--sometimes a bit dark, often absurd and usually inevitable. Sometimes this manifests as letterpress printed books and book-like objects, sometimes as prints and other times as pen and ink drawings, comics or paintings. Writing tends to creep in, and once in a great while a performance of sorts might happen"--Olfactory Gleanings website. "The news concept and illustrations were created and printed by Sarah M. Smith, on Cheloniidae Rag paper, with photopolymer plates from Boxcar Press. The title and colophon were handset and printed in Spartain Black Italic ad Futura Medium." Olfactory Gleanings is the name of the book artist's tumblr site: https://olfactorypress.tumblr.com/archive Edition of 30 copies signed and numbered by the artist.

Summary:

"This multiplex carousel structure - a continuously convoluting carousel - is the first of its kind. It was invented by bookbinder and conservator Graham Patten, and features artwork by printer, illustrator, and book artist Sarah Smith. It can be inverted on itself indefinitely, revealing a sequence of four different hidden openings or displays. A variation on the Jacob's Ladder toy, the Continuously convoluting carousel employs the same double-action hinges that gave the original toy its characteristically illusive motion. News cycle is comments on our reactions to the news. Through the operation of the book, five groups of people express four different emotions--apathetic, shocked, angry and elated. The cycle continues indefinitely as the viewer manipulates the book and the people experience the news. News cycle is comments on our reactions to the news.
