"Evans has provided site numismatists with another tool for their analytic toolbox, and her volume must now be considered required reading for all numismatists and historians of the ancient economy . . . Evans' work, with its useful catalogue, application of new methods for analyzing site coins, and roadmap of what other work needs to be done, serves as a splendid foundation block for our understanding of Palestine's economy."

Hester Stinnett
The Philadelphia International Airport will be exhibiting Hester Stinnett: Transcriptions A Mother’s Notations / An Author’s Aspirations in Terminal F, Concourse 3 from November 2009-April 2010. Using innovative techniques, Stinnett’s recent prints focus on revisions in handwritten texts as unique moments revealing the mind at work. In the series Transcriptions, her two sources are the crumpled and scribbled notes of a woman of failing faculties trying to keep track of a fading world, placed with author Joseph Conrad’s autograph manuscript* in which he famously sets down a vision of his artistic purpose at a turning point of his career. As exhibition curator Leah Douglas notes in the exhibition's essay, "They both at times struggle, cross-out text, and seem to write hurriedly before their thoughts dissipate. Both are purposefully minimal and cryptic, as Stinnett has severely pared down each. But this heightens their purpose, which is reflected in Conrad’s own words when he implores writers to aspire to be true to the “visible universe,” to use the “power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel…before all, to make you see.” And Stinnett is asking us to do the same." Further information about the exhibition casn be found at: www.phl.org/art/stinnett.html.
