The Four Elements




The Four Elements
are a set of four miniature tunnel books. It was once believed that four elements made up the world. The books, Aer, Terra, Ignis and Aqva, are my interpretation of this belief. Originally created with handmade paper, gouache and photographs, and ultimately laser printed. The books were designed, hand cut and bound by the artist. These limited edition books, measure 2″ x 3″ x 1/2″ closed and come in individually designed case wrappers. Edition of 60, Memory Press © 2002.
