Vloekboek
With John RoomeVloekboek is a perfectly sophomoric collaboration. The book grew out of a series of woodcut images collaboratively produced in Durban, South Africa in March '97. Upon further inspection, the artists began to play with word puns, focusing on Afrikaans and its obscure richness. The black zipper binding along with the actual south African matchbox adds a boyish swagger to the book.
