Cultural Writing. Art. Hybrids 1.0 - 3.5 presents the paintings of Los Angeles artist Paul Paiement. This uniquely designed double foldout book features over 50 color plates of Paiement's fascinating work along with an interview by Laguna Art Museum's Chief Curator Tyler Stallings and essays by renowned art writers Christopher Miles and Rebecca Neiderlander. Paiement's luminous paintings, of bugs and ordinary consumer products, combine the worlds of art, commodification, science fiction, and entomology with humor and wry social commentary. Utilizing traditional egg tempera and watercolor, Paiement delicately creates day-glo fantasy specimens isolated on pristine white backgrounds. According to Christopher Miles, "Color becomes key as Paiement desaturates the images and overlays them with even layers of transparent color, as if we see black-and-white images through tinted glass that neutralizes difference." Paiement has been exhibited extensively with his work continually garnering broader att

Nonfiction. Photography. Art. UNDERSTORY: LUMEN PRINTS OF FLORIDA FLORA is a stirring effort to capture the beauty and habitat changes in central Florida's Pine Flatwoods environment, which was once the largest ecosystem in Florida. Unlike traditional photographers, Burchfield works in conjunction with nature, producing camera-less one-of-a-kind photographic images in the wilderness, using natural processes that date back to the origins of photography. Working on a large scale, Burchfield was able to make images of whole trees and a 10' x 30' mural of a whole Pine Flatwoods ecosystem. The result is an amazing collection of images--from the representational to abstractions of color, shape, and form--which encapsulate the essence of the plants and echo the cycle of life.

Literary Nonfiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Photography. The visual documentation of the Mexican Revolution was made possible by Sabino Osuna, a skilled photographer who captured striking images of the first major revolution of the twentieth century. He was able to successfully record the battle and the people involved in it at a close range. The focus of this volume is Osuna's special collection, 427 images, currently held in Special Collection in the Rivera Library of the University of California, Riverside. The book includes essays about Osuna and his photographs by Peter Briscoe, Ronald Chilcote, Carlos Cortès, Georg Gugelberger, Eliud Martinez, and Tyler Stallings. "The Sabino Osuna Collection is powerful testimony to the incidents of the armed struggle in the Valley of Mexico, the epicenter of political change, but, more important, it narrates the daily affairs of the different social classes in and around Mexico City. This is what makes the book so powerful; there is an eerie appeal in the images of all these men and women going about their daily lives while their world was about to change irreversibly."—Exequiel Ezcurra, Director, UC MEXUS
