Chain Reaction by Laurie Pearsall
[Student project, Artists’ Bookmaking course].
Book consists of an 18 x 12 cm. box (3 cm. deep) with images and text collaged on the inside. Some of the collage elements are on hand-painted watercolor paper. The outside box cover is in the form of a piece of furniture (a dresser), with a single drawer opened on the front. The title and author are printed on the liner inside the drawer. There are 6 folded panels attached to the box lid and bottom in an accordian style binding. The outside of the box is decorated in simulated wood pattern, the interior is covered in 2 different vintage floral patterns, with text and collage only on one side.
