Au revoir les livres?
This series was intended as a playful celebration of the book as tactile object, to mark its changing status in an age of digital media.
Many of the pieces are saggar-fired with ferric chloride.
The series was originally commissioned by Galerie Arthé, Gaujac, France, for an exhibition of artists’ books.
