Art. A collection that accompanies Ascheim's exhibition in Amherst, 2003, it stunningly reproduces her paintings, drawings, and photograms. Detailing an incredible, abstract notion of space, "the relation between her hand's irregular gestures and the blank ground upon which she chooses to make them creates an almost musical harmony, where sounds and pauses are of equal importance to the whole" -- Regina Coppola. The compositions are introduced by poetic interpretation from Jeff Clark and Christine Hume. A collection perfectly suited for the bookshelves of artists, musicians, and poets alike; "if the night sky lights up with searchlights, your consciousness melts at the edges."
