This book was made in collaboration with local mixed media artist, Eileen Harwood.
This untitled book requires the participant’s involvement to explore movement through texture. From sliding framed artwork out of a fitted pocket closure to the act of turning overlapped sheets of delicate, fiberous, semi-transparent paper bound by dual pamphlet stitches, the experience is a celebration of ‘touch’. Using soft textures and tactile materials as an entrance, the book builds to an electric finale of Eileen’s deep toned, wax painting remnants.
