This collection of scanned newspaper pages comprises an article from the "Arts/Entertainment" section of The Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer, published on Sunday, July 2, 1989. The prominent headline on the first page reads "ATOMIC ART," with a sub-headline stating, "SCULPTOR'S N-WASTE PROJECT MAY BE OF MONUMENTAL IMPORTANCE." The article, authored by Times Art Critic Deloris Tarzan Ament focuses on James Acord and his work, particularly his "nuclear-cored" sculptures and performance art, which engage with themes of nuclear waste and materials.
