A bound collection of the intricately cut stencils used to make Fore by Visitor a.k.a. Chris Habib.
In the original version of Fore, Visitor uses the alphabet to delve into a variety of four letter words, where each letter corresponds to an ironic stencil drawing with a political motive. G is combined with “Grow” and a handgun, Q is for “Quit” and the silhouette of President Bush’s face, while U and “Ugly” is illustrated by the American flag. Crassly conflating iconographies, Visitor enacts a literal twisting of language, not unlike the aesthetic and political subjects he depicts.
For this stencil edition, Visitor is giving away the very tools he used to make Fore, encouraging the new owner to “destroy the book with paint and pens…evolve it into something new.”
