Letters to the Ether/Other, 1996
Laxson writes that the "Letters to the Ether Other" first existed as one-of-a-kind bas relief wall pieces... This small edition is a spin off of that work printed while the hand-set type was still in tack on various papers found around the studio." Each page is presented as a combination folded letter with a black printed envelope waiting to be mailed. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Measurism, 1996
This book "plots the logarithms of social measurement against stimulus values in decibels. It finds the sensation magnitude to be a constant that depends on interaction." Laxson uses scientific statements in a poetic mixture with social perceptions and feelings. These pages are printed in her typical arrangement of mixing different fonts and font dimensions. She also includes five pages of naive line drawings of a leader, a visionary, traffic, a friend, and a muse/guardian that contrast in style and content to the scientific, sophisticated typographic pages. Both inside covers have been collaged from edge to edge with letterpressed printed text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
