B900. Words of Risk: The Art of Thomas Ingmire by Michael Gullick. 1989. 90pp. 65 illus., many in full color. 9"x12". Paper

Using words as subjects, Ingmire's work has progressed from the transcription of texts to complex multi-layered visual statements. His juxtaposition of and interplay between words and images challenge the traditional role of calligraphy as "decorated writing." The book describes the work and working process of Ingmire and reproduces virtually all of his major pieces, many in full color.
