Publisher's Description
From Inside This Earth is a new series of unique photographs by Johnna Arnold, created by putting small amounts of used motor oil into a traditional color enlarger. The limited edition folio expands upon this work, incorporating mono-prints made with crude motor oil, a journal entry of all the petroleum products the artist touched in one day, a diagram of how oil is currently used, and an essay by Elia Vargas entitled 'Towards a Cosmomaterialism of Oil: new diffractions on a process of light.'
Intentionally unbound: each page pulls out to reveal a poster-sized image.
