Thomas Ashcraft is an independent scientist who makes art from scientific experimentation. From Brandauer's essay: " Universal Gum and Tradecake continues Ashcraft's interest in creating or tapping into parallel universes and setting up 'translation systems' between one world and another...Ashcraft is capable of providing new insights into [both art and science] while being constrained by neither." Very minimal rubbing to covers. Sharp tips, all pages intact and unmarked, all folds secure.
