Acre/Anchor is a varied edition of seven printed on a hodge podge of paper along with etching plates, lead and wooden type, rubber stamps, gum print, a thing that says it's for "pet tattoos" (a questionable mechanism but it makes a neat debossment) and one of those little wheels that's used for making dress patterns.

The spring-board for this project was a contract regarding a piece of property my family owns in Mississippi. The legal jargon got me going and it went from there. By spending the fall of 1999 collecting property maps and other land marking figures and symbols I created this accordion fold hard-cover book that investigates the terminology my family uses to describe specific locations on the property, employing phrases like, "Over on the back 40 [acres]" "just across the power line" and "near the catfish pond."
