Description:
An artist's book consisting of a three miniature books issued in a custom box covered with paper repeating the title "ROMEIN" and with a removable lid top. Each miniature book measures 44 x 67 mm when closed, and extend to 36 pages when opened. Images are inkjet prints on paper. Folded in a double-sided, maze book structure. Each miniature book has a belly band enclosure with title printed on one side. Limited edition of 27 copies. Artist's statement: "One side of each book reveals a full image when unfolded while the other side features 36 images, one on each "page" as you peruse the book. The books are oriented so that they can be viewed page by page while they are being unfolded until the viewer reveals a large page that displays all of the images at once on one side ... The maze fold is designed so that the books have to be reoriented at each intersection. Turning left or right, up or down or over as the fold dictates, involving the viewer on a physical level with the book as they negotiate the pages." Artist's statement: "The images are from time spent in Italy and Paris during the summer of 2015. I concentrated on photographing street life, ancient ruins and relics, and figurative statuary."
