Artist book in a box (2018)
[This book project documents the large-scale installation project, Ready-Made Dream]
9” x 12” x 2” clamshell box (closed dimensions). Inside the box is a cloth covered folio with red fabric spine that holds eight folded sheets measuring 9” x 24” each, and four folded sheets with extended fold-out measuring 9” x 35.5”. Images and text printed with archival ink on Epson Somerset Velvet paper. Within each of the 12 folded sheets there is a vellum print of a numbered diagram that corresponds to the text on the left-hand side that poetically identifies and provides cultural and art historical background about the objects represented in the panel. The box also contains one piece of authentic 1950's Louis Marx & Co. dollhouse furniture which is mounted in foam and encased in a clear plastic archival box. Edition of 10.
Deluxe edition features cyanotype prints of the numbered diagrams in addition to the prints on vellum.
