no skateboarding
By Cathryn Miller
Canada: 2005. Edition of 24.

3 x 3 x 3" boustrophedon variant (folds into a box and comes with instruction sheet), giclée printed.

Cathryn Miller: "no skateboarding is a book, a puzzle, a box, a photographic essay about surfaces. Text takes second place to visual images in this piece. The few words involved function primarily as graphic elements, but also lend context to the primary idea of the work: the limitations that one part of society may attempt to impose on another."
$40

The Elephant's Child
By Rudyard Kipling
Canada: Byopia Press, 2004. Edition of 5.

4.25 x 20 x 2 cm closed. Palm leaf book: book board, handmade paper (recycled paper, cattail fibre) laminated and transfer-printed with the artists’ personal variation of half uncial alphabet, found button, braided linen cord.

Text is one of Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories.

Cathryn Miller: "I chose the binding style as one appropriate to the subject matter. Since I don’t have access to palm leaves, I selected cattails for the handmade paper, to suit the story."
