POINT OF DEPARTURE describes an imaginary journey, primarily to the British Isles, But really to wherever it might suggest. This pop-up book was inspired by the cancellation of a real trip, and also by the irresistibly quotable text and figurative illustrations found in Posing for the Camera, by Harriet Shepard and Lenore Meyer, published by Hastings House in 1960, and distributed by Milady Publishing Corp. (I kid you not!)
Mixed media with Cibachrome prints, C-prints, and gelatin silver prints. 11.25 x 14 x 2 inches closed.
Text for Ritual Site page:
"The basic-leg shown here is dark while the show-leg is light . . . The heel acts as a pivot for the basic-leg foot . . . The toe of the show-leg marks the rim of the clock . . . With your basic-toe pointing to the hour and your show-toe indicating the minutes, you can tell time . . . time and time again."
