Description:
|
One-of-a-kind artist's book. Double-sided accordion structure. Materials: vintage postcards, ephemera. Collage. Wrapped in handmade envelope with raffia tie closure. Laid in matching four-flap wrap with velcro closure. Artist's statement: "[Mandorla] is composed of vintage postcards and various pieces of ephemera. In order to expose both sides of the postcard, the image on the front and the written message on the back, thin strips of paper or ephemera and glue were used to piece together the composition to achieve this end. The emphasis is on the mandorla, an almond shape that results when two circles or worlds interact. The mandorla is an archetypal form that has been used to symbolize the interaction and interdependence of opposing forces."
