Jessica Stockholder. ABC TASTE, with the perferct guest.

ABC TASTE, The Perfect Guest is a multivalent romp through an adult´s ABC primer at speed. Taste is an expansive concept that evokes thoughts on decorum, olfactory sensations, flavor and likability. For the cover, Stockholder prints a photomontage in mauve onto the tactile surface of "Skinplast" - a rubbery substance that invites touch. The armatures that pull Taste together are the alphabet, the inventive repetitive of a cut-out hole, and the attendant artist´s word poem, The Perfect Guest.
