Summary:	"The inspiration for IRON came from researching and gathering information for an installation piece created for Reimagining the Distaff Toolkit, an exhibit curated by Rickie Sollinger"--Colophon.

Description
Summary:	"Inspired by the artist's installation of the same name, where an automated iron reveals text as it irons out a white dress shirt. The text examines the history of domestic labor and immigration, while the images document the technological progress of ironing appliances (patents included). Printed in invisible ink, the viewer reads the book by ironing the pages. DVD of the ironing installation is included in a back pocket."
