"This volume calls attention to the natural process of converting water to salt at two ancient salt collection sites in Yucatán, Mexico. Fried Waters also shows the artists' fascination with subjects in a state of flux. And so the book offers the viewer a unique glimpse into the natural phenomenon of salt"--Publisher's description.

"In Childhood Memories from the Other Side of the Water, artist Eduardo del Valle depicts experiences and recollections of the first ten years of his life in Cuba, from 1951 until 1961, when he left the country of his birth, never to return. Over the past nine years, del Valle has made images that are central to his reminiscences and which portray painful aspects of his childhood that have stayed with him throughout his life and career. These memories of Cuba come together to form an outstanding visual autobiography"--Publisher's description.

"This off-the-wall artist's book is comprised of photographs made at the Hing Yip printing plant in Dongguan, China by the highly acclaimed husband and wife team of Eduardo del Valle and Mirta Gomez. Between Runs refers to the 'down time' artists are given when they are on press, between approving one printing form and waiting to see the next. During a five-day stay in Dongguan to oversee the production of their previous title, Fried Waters, del Valle and Gomez made good use of their down time to produce an insightful body of work that combines elements of traditional Chinese scroll paintings, theatrical backdrops and modern graffiti; all found objects within the sprawling grounds of the printing plant. The resulting images are raw snippets of time that resonate with a rare and unlikely beauty"--Publisher's description.

These are not tragic pictures. They do not condemn consumer culture or show the limitations or emptiness of globalization. They show, rather, the vigorous, touching and continuing permutation of an ideal, that of home.
