Unique artist's book.

The text is hand lettered in gouache and is accompanied by paste paper, as well as other handmade papers, and illustrations accomplished with painting, straightedge, pen, and brush. Focusing on the theme of geometry in architecture, the artist appropriates the book form, employing color, structure and image to visualize her text and the concepts that it conveys.
