This artist book is based on the ancient Mesopotamian goddess Inanna, also known as Ishtar.

The terracotta image I saw of her in the Louvre was one of many made from a mold that was originally used to bake ritual sweet cakes. I have since made many hundreds of monotypes of the goddess, from my own 'print mold.'

I chose 12 original monotypes for this book. Text from rock’n roll love songs embellish each print, marrying contemporary words to the ancient goddess.

A fold-open, long book made from strips of wood block prints sewn together and illuminated with text from Lou Reed's song "Heavenly Arms."
