Lee, June Yong and Tina Takemote — Skin

San Francisco, CA, California Institute of Integral Studies, 2014. Hardcover. Dark grey illustrated DJ with white and yellow lettering; brown cloth boards with white lettering; unpaginated; chiefly illustrations. The work of June Yong Lee brings to mind the movie "Silence of Lambs," but with a completely different intention of skin. He looks at skin, without skeletal structure in a totally unique way, as a way to "preserve memory," exploring the push and pull of time, of markings and moles, and of aging. The landscapes or "human" scapes that June creates are like charcoal rubbings that reveal history and life lived. -- Aline Smithson, photographer and founder of LENSCRATCH. Good (DJ has a small tear at the top, with some edgewear/scuffing/smudging, and a small sticker on the rear; brown cloth boards with white lettering; interior is clean; binding is solid.) .
