(unframed print, 13 in. wide x 19 in. high)
$100 from each sale will be donated to WYSO 91.3, the Yellow Springs NPR affiliate, in support of the important community and reporting work the station produces every day.
Art description: A compact notebook designed for rapid transcription, the steno pad features a top-bound format suited to quick shorthand writing. It facilitated real-time capture of speech in offices, courtrooms, and classrooms, prioritizing speed and efficiency over permanence. Pages filled quickly with compressed notation, later expanded or transcribed into formal documents and correspondence. Its structure supported a specific bodily practice (hand movement, page flipping, and margin use) aligned with listening and frantic writing simultaneously. As digital recording and typing erase it, the steno pad persists as an artifact of disciplined, manual information capture.
Print runs for this exhibit are limited to 5 each, hand-signed, numbered, and stamp-authenticated by the artist. Works are printed on 13”x19” or 19”x13” 100% cotton rag with deckled and torn edges, using a 6-color, high resolution inkjet process. Print is mailed in a protective mailing tube, and comes with an identification tag as presented during the exhibit. Shipping and sales tax included in print price. Image shown at left is from original digital file, not from actual print.
