Notes:

Edition of 1. A unique manuscript artist's book and binding. Handpainted title-page with title in letterpress; with artist's signature in pencil: Ely. IaU Medium: Gouache, graphite, ink, colored inks, watercolor. The illustrations depict imaginary maps, landforms, charts, diagrams and grids; annotated in manuscript with quasi-mathematical formulae, and indecipherable glyphs, cyphers, symbols, and "text" rendered in Ely's invented style of "cribriform" script (a type of asemic writing--an intuitive yet very specific quasi-calligraphic gestural writing form having no specific (or open) semantic content).
