Informazioni sul libro
As the months progressed without economic recovery, something had to be done. In order to save costs, and reduce a ballooning state budget deficit, extensive cuts to social services, parks and education were made. Thousands of state workers were laid off or furloughed.
Even the state’s alphabet was not spared, and 3 letters were laid off as well. While M, X, and Y were acknowledged as vital and important to the state’s continued viability as an effective entity, nevertheless there was nothing the governor or state legislature could do but remove these three letters from service to the state.
It is hoped that when boom times return to the Golden State, these letters can once again return to useful service.

Informazioni sull'autore
D. Jean Hester is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. She holds an MFA in Art and Integrated Media from CalArts, and a BFA in Cinema from University of Southern California. Her work has been shown in numerous exhibits, festivals, and screenings in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Her practice in installation, drawing, video, and performance explores a deep interest in communication, interaction and language. She is particularly intrigued by the simultaneous frailty of language and our repeated efforts to connect despite language's inefficiency and tendency toward failure. She finds this duality of human experience particularly intriguing - how we continually attempt to communicate, how we insistently seek connection, despite the fact that as often as not our attempts result in failure or misinterpretation.
