Constellation


I suppose it was inevitable that my embroidered fractal drawings would end up in an artist's book.

I think this is a good way of exposing both sides of the embroidery, which are slightly different. I also introduced some mechanical action -- opening the book pulls on the strings, which span both sides of the fold like the cables of a suspension bridge. There is a flap at the back of the book for retracting the strings when the front cover is closed.

On the back cover, you can see the actual computer-generated fractal I used for the drawing.

Title: Constellation. It measures 6" high by 5-5/8" folded, and I'm planning a limited edition of 5 copies.
