Description
Russell Maret is an American letterpress printer, type designer, artist, and author. Language, translation, and redaction are key elements of this presentation that explores constitutional interpretation. The full text of the US Constitution, and its amendments, are presented in one volume. The other volumes are interpretations: one is a redacted version and the other comprises constitutional information found on the Internet. Together, the three volumes are intended to mirror the fractured state of political discourse in America.
