Roadside Attractions vol. 3 documents collected evidence, inviting the reader to draw individual conclusions on the quasi-environmental study conducted by the artist. The small boustrophedon form takes notice of the intricacy of waste that proliferates at America’s roadsides. The book is a grid of micro-meditations that attempt to balance human beings' misuse of resources with our incredible ingenuity and progress. The prints document tiny indicators of how we thrive and falter—each micro-page a critical piece of an unknown something. The book's structure invites the viewer to map these discarded pieces without promise of arrival at a final destination. Simultaneously, the viewer is engaged in hypothesizing about the broken objects’ former uses. The found objects were inked and printed on Domestic Etch paper via letterpress and risography. Volume 3 is housed in a paper slipcase that is signed and numbered by the artist.
