Smith, Dana F., 1959-
Description:
Bound at top. Publisher's website: "A unique handmade artists book by Dana Smith created as a study of Carl J. Jungs final essay titled, 'Approaching the Unconscious'. This book contains a series of 24 multimedia paintings bound together in the coptic style with two spines, top and bottom, to create a double codex artists book that reveals an investigative process focused on illustrating Jung's description of the unconscious with photo collage, painting, cut paper collage, and snippets from the source text. The painted pages are a result of many layers, built up and torn away, painted over, pasted into, speaking to the original text with quotes and motifs, all in an effort to seek out a dream version of Jung's text. The original hand painted and collaged book has been reproduced by the artist from highly detailed scans, printed with inkjet printing and bound (with only one spine) using a drum leaf binding technique. These reproductions, or facsimiles will allow a larger audience access to the original handmade unique book."
