Photograph that shows how the book's pages are different heights.

1981


I ended up concentrating on the art of books. My thesis took the form of a wide variety of handmade books.

For my Christmas card I experimented with a little book with pages that gradually get shorter then taller, showing more of the scenes from earlier and later pages. The conceit is that the verso (left) pages show what the reader (one of the kings) sees behind him and the recto (right) page shows what lies ahead.
