Jay Fox: "’Inside Jokes’ is a collaborative work by Jay Fox and Melissa Wagner-Lawler produced in the Spring of 2023 at the University of Arkansas - Fort Smith. This artist book uses a single-sheet structure housed in a removable pocket cover. On the recto, using color and typographic ornaments, a coded language is presented as the ultimate inside joke. On the verso, the words INSIDE JOKES are printed in bold text in a cascading manner, reminding the viewer that they are not privy to the joke."
