Artist’s Book

Plexiglas, color transparencies, and bolts

11x8.5"

Duane Slick calls the artist’s book Some People Get Obsessed a “transparent book” because of the invisibility of his Native American culture to whites and because of the physical nature of the book: each page consists of Xeroxed transparencies and computer-generated text sandwiched between Plexiglas. The piece is displayed on a shelf, with the viewer
invited to pick up and examine each page.
