People often assume that I've always been interested in bathing. But this isn't so. My fascination really only began while in architecture school. Like most of my classmates, I was initially drawn to the heroic architectures du jour, Modern the taut, muscular variety-and then proto-Postmodern. When those love affairs soured, I became curious about less self-conscious, more humane approaches to place-making. This led me to small, intimate environments: the kinds of places you go to feel safe and secure, the kinds of places that induce you to let go and be yourself. The Japanese tea room despite its very appealing form and philosophy was too culturally specific for the vague purposes I had in mind. I sought a species of enclosed space that offered similar possibilities for transcendental experience but was more universally available.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. WET, the Magazine of Gourmet Bathing, was published between 1976 and 1981, in Venice, California. WET was an experimental venue for up-and-coming writers, photographers, illustrators, and graphic designers. Nearly all of WET's editorial attitudes and design innovations have been absorbed into the visual and media landscape of today. The story of the making of WET, however, remains fresh and topical. WET was one of the seminal avant-garde magazines of the 1970s. Matt Groening and others got their start here.
