Book Description:
The implicit violence, frozen narratives, and pared down, comic book aesthetic of Layla Ali's gouache and ink drawings present an ambiguous place where civilization and psychology meet. Psycho political situations are suggested, but rarely acted out, by figures dressed in costumes derived from superhero wear and sports gear, garb reminiscent of outfits worn by the KKK, the Pope, and Coptic priests. Who are they? What are they doing? Their gender neutralized by unisex costumes, their race neutralized by green colored skin, Ali has created a tight, contained, strangely compelling hand drawn world in which questions are unanswerable, narratives refuse to go forward, and yet everything is eerily perfect. Essay by Suzanne Wise. Introduction by Jessica Morgan. 8 x 8.25 in. 22 color illustrations
