Summary:
"[A] collaboration between four artists whose talents and lives intersect at Otis College of Art and Design. The flag book structure presented the perfect form to incorporate four journeys to the college in both a literal storytelling manner as well as a larger historical perspective that brought the collaborators together. The book contains the artists' journey in the codex of the book, with a map of Los Angeles as the flag image, and the back of the spine which contains the colophon, method, means, and biographical information of the artists: Jennifer Graves, Janet Kupchick, Leslie Ross-Robertson, and Jamie Russom"--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers' website, viewed on April 1, 2015.
