Leaf Manual

Five, unique, hand-bound accordion books
Paper collage, acrylic, graphite, colored pencil, wax pastel, and paper pulp, on paper, bookcloth, bookboard.

Each has four or six double sided interior pages. 12.5 x 8.5 inches closed.

Leaf Manual explores the intersection of written language, plant forms, and shape-based abstraction.  Each volume is a discrete work, that has been "translated" into human writing by a different human collaborator. The collaborative part of the project is still in-process.  The translations, alongside reproductions of the work, will be published as an artist's edition.
