Book eSCAPE

Book eSCAPE

Traveling between the covers…

Long stitch multi-signature book…with button…learned from the great Jeannine Stein.

Signatures are gatherings of folded pages that nest inside each other.

Here you can see the six signatures clearly!

A bit of unexpected “paging” …vintage recipes…

sheet music…

and upside-down maps provide moments of surprise and pause.

Flag Book with Found Writing,  designed as an inspirational sample for teen students.

Vision Book…

“Take action…Like Nothing Else”

The movement of the book  makes malleable meaning of its words.

Type faces and fonts work with color

to underline the meaning…or create new meaning.

“Double Fan Book”,  a model for a life-sized “Big Book” that could be used as an presentation space.

Covers and pages fan out from an accordion spine,

creating spaces between them.

“Windows and doors” are cut into the planes of the corrugated cardboard surface, creating more moment and views.

The parts are stitched / lashed together with hemp chord.

The piece is designed to draw attention to the parallels between books and architectural spaces, and explore the connections between them.

I hope you enjoyed this  Book eSCAPE, and  join me again to travel between the covers and through the sheets…of cardboard and paper of course.
