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. (Source: Three Star Books)
