nature-bound-group
Nature Bound was created for a group exhibit presented by Triangle Book Arts at The Carrack Modern Art in Durham, NC.

Miniature Books

The sun, shell, leaf and butterfly, all key elements in each scene, are also miniature books. Whether on a hook or nestled in place, each one can be removed for perusal.

Paper Scapes

Color, texture and layering of paper were all major factors in constructing each scene. All elements were individually hand cut. Mica was used as a secondary material.

Shadow Boxes

At 7″ x 15″ x 1 1/2”, the intimate container provided an artful display. Arranging the paper layers and books within was quite the challenge.

My fascination with shadow boxes was a perfect vehicle for combining intricate paper scapes with miniature books.
