Diary towards Timothy Huth

Huth, G. [Diary towards Timothy Huth]. Schenectady, New York: 7 Aug 1989-28 Oct 1989. An artist's sketchbook, 80 pages (5½" X 8½" in size), transformed into a strange diary-cum-artist's-book. As the diary moves in time towards the birth of Timothy, I altered the pages more and more: adding drawings, cutting out holes, piercing the pages, etc. Soon after his birth, this book devolved into a totally boring recounting of my day's activities, and all the interesting visual constructions disappeared. A few quotations from the book, found by my daughter, Erin Huth:

Nancy--to continue the theme--had no baby today. (From 15 August 1989, seventeen days before he actually was born.) I rushed home, but Nancy was still pregnant with remorse (okay, child), and not even in labor. (From 17 August 1989, with fifteen days to go.)
