A linen-bound art book with original color screenprints conceived of and printed by Art Hazelwood. The book binder and three-dimensional conceptual artist is Asa Nakata, who in addition to the binding has designed the interactive pull-tab art piece for the final page of the book, involving magnets and string to emulate the motion of a guillotine.

The colophon reads: "The moneybag headed capitalist, the one-eyed pyramid dollar, and the Klan mask are used here as shorthand for the destructive powers arrayed against the people and the planet at this critical moment of economic inequality, racist xenophobia and environmental disaster. But a growing alternative power is also at play. Its [sic] a power that can chalLenge the fascists if only the sleeping giant can arise to otherthrow these forces and create a world that embraces all life.

Obeliscolychny was invented/appropriated by Francois Rabelais (1483-1553) and used in books IV and V of his sprawling tales of Gargantua and Pantagruel. Used to describe a kind of spit used by soldiers to hang lamps on, it acquired the meaning somewhere along the way of a lighthouse in the form of an obelisk. This print is available on its own, or as a part of this fine press book, where it unfolds once opened.

Forest Song is a journey through illness to restored health told through symbolic imagery. The prints grew out of an extended period of illness in India where Hazelwood was traveling. He stayed there for two months being treated by Tibetan doctors and living in a hotel/monastery. It was a mysterious environment to be sinking into the lethargy of illness. The slow recovery and its accompanying sense of inwardness is the feeling out of which this series came.Printed on Mulberry paper. Published by Epigone Press, Tokyo
