Looking Through, from Wordswordswords

<p>Characterized as an author, painter, poet, philosopher, gamesman, scientist, inventor, and teacher, Edwin Schlossberg saw his life’s work as getting people to think for themselves. In <em>Wordswordswords</em>, he deliberately ignored some of the basic rules of printing in order to make reading a physical act. <em>Wordswordswords</em> is a virtual “what not to do” in printmaking: misalignment, misspelling, reversals, accidental masking, creased paper, blind embossing, and fragmented letters. Of this piece Schlossberg said, “I hope they see the words, and then I hope they see themselves.”</p>
