LIMITED EDITION ARTIST’S BOOKS:
My book Figures, hand bound by Carolyn Chadwick and printed by master printer Sheila Marbain with my assistance, describes a progression of shapes based on a grid of Fibonacii numbers (2, 3, 5, 8), an arithmetic sequence. As the reader progresses, the shapes change in configuration, size and color. Imagine that the constructions are standing figures seen as when walking through a sculpture garden. In the end all the figures are placed together, to show how they are related to each other.
