A Practical French Course
Gary Goldstein
1993
The book was done during a time of change in my life, when I began learning different languages which was an important goal for me at the time. It was made with erasing pages with a thick black marker, a repetitive operations, creating variations of light reflections, darkness, a black whole. I decorated the margins of the book, which were narrow and very limited. Something that gave me a feeling of relative protection.
