There exist several similarities in riding a bike and experiencing art in a book format. While both can be experienced in a distinctly linear manner one can also backtrack slow pace skim speed up follow pathways or make one's own. For this reason artist books are a natural format for my work. "The specific event referenced in this work is the Riverwest 24 a 24-hour bike race that I participated in during July 2012. As a solo participant it was sometimes difficult to motivate myself to keep going especially after being on the saddle for many hours. This book explores the thought process of staying engaged and continuing to push yourself beyond your perceived abilities. redthreadletterpress, hardcover

Melissa Wagner-Lawler: "This book investigates our society�s ability to communicate using popular communication methods. The clarity of our thoughts in the digital environment has taken a backseat to the speed at which the information is received. Text messages blog entries and status updates are the preferred method of communication. Often times it takes longer to decipher these quick poorly written messages than it does to understand a well-written sentence with obscure or seldom used words. redthreadletterpress, unknown

Bound in paper over bookboard with matching pastedowns and cloth spine. Signed and numbered by the artist. Melissa Wagner-Lawler: "Using language as a primary visual element the text in my work becomes abstracted through various digital processes. Cutting masking and layering techniques in Illustrator are used to destroy and manipulate it digitally. Printing overprinting and subtleties in ink are used to create a visceral delicate surface on the page enticing the viewer to decipher the message. Is the language or message within the text important � and if it is important why obscure it or make it difficult to read "In our current technologies nothing created can ever be permanently erased � fragments of the information will always remain. redthreadletterpress, hardcover
