- Summary
- Volume containing 8 bifolia of colored felt, each leaf with a full-page partial cutout of a lowercase letter "a"; white felt endleaves.
- "[Rayne's] first publication for Three Star Books and Westreich/Wagner Publications is a book is a sculpture is a program. Its title, Almanac, comes from what the artist calls his 'a' line, a spoof on the idea that there are any hierarchies (or 'a,' 'b,' and 'c' lines) in an artist's work. And just as a mega sculpture can be a minor work, so this mini sculpture is a major piece in the artist's arsenal. As with Rayne's other 'a' works, this project is a distillation of ideas, processes and techniques inherent within different formats of cultural production ... The artist says that his 'a' line project originates from a file generated in screen space, which is then output into different display formats ... Rayne's neologism for this process is 'tacto-texto-experiential' interactivity"--Three Star Books Web site, viewed April 9, 2015.
