Pettibon's drawings that are dispersed throughout the texts, are described as "disjunctive, and all inclusive...His initial style relied on the carefully acquired tricks and conventions of cartoon illustration...Pettibon's genius rests on the mysterious alchemy of image and text that his drawings effect. His is a poetry that defies verbal of visual categories, but relies on effacing th boundaries of each."

Real Fiction / Stokes, Telfer ; Douglas, Helen., 1987

 Item
Identifier: CC-41184-43166
Scope and Contents

According to the Stokes' WEB site: "Taking as a starting point the incongruous space and shadows made by the open pages of the book, the process of opening or "entering " is explored as one would an unknown dwelling. This process of exploration develops into the construction of a room within the book and then leads from the core of this interior place outwards, as fusion between inside and outside. Interspersed, a constructive text hovers and casts shadows on the open pages as an active commentary and associative dialogue on the 'construction .'" -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
