cento (noun) 

•    a piece of writing, especially a poem, composed wholly of quotations from the works of other authors

•    anything composed of incongruous parts; conglomeration 

•    Obsolete. a patchwork.

CENTO is a loose-leaf, interactive artist book that features artist editions including a functional fortune-teller, bookplates with performance prompts, gossipy booklets, shape-shifting forms, existential meditations, and curatorial musings. 

Through its expanded book form, CENTO extends its namesakes' literary tradition and embraces the language of patchwork as a reparative method. Piecing together personal, cultural, historical, and speculative fragments, the publication explores a non-linear gathering and layering of meaning. 

Risograph printed, edition of 150.
