EDWARD FELLA: Letters on America

By Lewis Blackwell and Lorraine Wild.
The works of visual artist Fella are collected in this amazing book of photos and hand-drawn glyphs. Fella's photographs feature extreme close ups of signs, lettering and posters, creating arresting visual fragments that are both familiar and incongruous. These dense and mysterious Polaroids are featured nine to a page, creating a rich collage of words and images. This unique collection also features Fella's famous hand-drawn alphabets which seek to recreate the disjointed logic of his photographs. Complete with explanatory essays by fellow artists Blackwell and Wild, this is a fascinating collision of typography and abstract photography.

Customer Reviews:

From: Ace F. Posted: 01/20/09
I wasn't familiar with Fella's work before seeing this but it's a mesmerizing collage of words, glyphs, images and Polaroids. His strangely elliptical photographs of various signs undermine their utilitarian function and push something as ordinary as a butchers marquee into the realm of the abstract. A genuinely intriguing collection from a unique artist.
