Melbourne : the artist, 2017. Octavo, silver-lettered black cloth, pp. 74, being poetry of Arnold with overpainted designs by Leti. Limited to 20 copies signed by Bruno Leti. Matthew Arnold s book of selected poems has served as the support for the hand-painted artwork within it. Words and colours are combined with selected lines left in print to become, as it were, a marriage of voice and image. From the unique Book One made in 2012, I have laser-printed a small edition of 20 books during April of 2017, signed and numbered from 1-20 .
