Octavo. (10)ff, accordion fold and printed on both sides. Illustrations letterpress printed directly from single-use plastics, including bag clasps, drinking straws, bottle caps, produce netting, jar lids, and contact lens packaging. The main sheets display Shelley's "Love's Philosophy," with all its Romantic assumptions of nature's eternal splendor. Above it stand pop-ups that, ironically, subvert this naturalism, each one printed with DeMarais's summaries of Bisphenol data. Better known to the public as BPA, these chemicals leech out of plastic waste piled in landfills or casually strewn about, seeping into the environment and contaminating food and water sources. The impact on human and animal health is considerable, altering endocrine systems to cause tumors, disrupt reproductive abilities, and negatively alter passed genetic traits to children. Through plastics, in a quite literal sense our consumption destroys us. An aesthetically pleasing and ethically jarring commentary on the environmental crisis, with citations at rear. Printed by Jessica Spring and bound with assistance from Gabby Cooksey. Fine. Housed, appropriately, in plastic packaging, now as archival as the book.
