This is a black and white codex . This eagle codex is contemporary imagery derived from mayan and aztec motifs. This artist books is an experiment into modern day codex making that begs and re-imagines the visions left behind by southern and northern indigenous ancestors. Israel's work presses forward on the work left behind. Not stagnant at all, the imagery ignites and reminds us that there is so much left to uncover, re-member and re-consider .
