Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Octavo. (xii), 120, (4)pp. Calon's risographs explore the possibility of a vibrant visual language based upon geometry. The resulting sheets include a table of contents and discernable letters and numbers alongside trigonometric abstractions. Together these call into question how we use and create lan…guage at all; Calon suggests here that language approximates a game of shapes. One can think of her work as, perhaps, a merging of Wittgenstein's theory of language with Mondrian's theory of expression and Albers's theory of color. Bound in a dropback cover of tan cloth over boards, with illustrated dust wrapper. Fine and surprisingly scarce. With prospectus laid in, also signed by the artist. One of 750 copies. Signed by the artist.
