Family Dynamics

These are the first two little books in a small series I'm calling "Family Dynamics". Originally they were prototypes for a much larger accordion style book, but I think they turned out great and stand on their own. They are both 6 inches square (when closed), and will be exhibited at the Miniatures 2009: Portraits Exhibition at Daniel North's gallery, the art studio, in Cutbank, MT. They are copper etchings in handstitched, stained, and branded leather bound books, with printed and machine stitched fabric collages. When I finish the larger book, I'll be sure and post some images so stay tuned...
