About This Item
Philly [Pkiladelphia, PA]: :: Candy Coated Press,, 2007.. Edition of 84. 7.5 x 10.75"; one sheet folded. producing four pages. Medium: Reductive woodcut (Shina) and hand-set lead type This book was created in twelve press runs with multiple reductive woodcuts and hand-set lead type. Numbered Caroline Garcia Ziegler: "'A Gaggle of Hoodlums' was written on the Louisiana artist's brisk, 6-block walk from school to the subway in Philadelphia. The seemingly nonsensical poem describes ogling and catcalling men who would band together to harass women, either from a stationary post leaning against buildings, or by actively getting in their way to block their path, forcing women to engage with them. "The Loup Garou is a werewolf in Cajun folktales, and in the artist's family, if you were out 'rougarou-ing,' you were out causing mischief." Caroline Garcia Ziegler: "One of the things I really like about this book is that it's not an imposing artist's book due to its incredibly simple structure. As an object, it's such a simple thing, but the content and the printing is definitely not simple.The printing uses 3 separate reductive woodblocks, one with a rainbow roll, and hand-set type. My background as a Louisianaian transplanted into a major Mid-Atlantic city became part of the piece. A slur against women became illustrated characters, big dudes in hoodies are the bad guys (a different kind of slur), and a Cajun werewolf appears out of nowhere to take care of the harassers - all within this little package of wordplay!
