No. 152, Fall 2018

Editor’s note by Andrew Page:
In the cover article, contributing editor Victoria Josslin examines Japanese-born Etsuko Ichikawa’s new work with radioactivity and glass. Based in Seattle, the artist was alarmed by the 2011 tsunami and nuclear meltdown at Fukashima, and it got her thinking about the dangers of atomic energy, which led her to the otherworldly Hanford complex in Washington State, where uranium was enriched for the bomb dropped on Japan at the end of World War II. Her multimedia response connecting the dots across the globe is haunting and worthy of the cover.
