Hours

Artist Book

A modern book of hours in a long stitch binding covered in black and purple Japanese cloth. Graphite rubbings illustrate flight both physically and metaphorically. Conceived on September 11, 2001, the text references both the canonical hours of the day and the catastrophic events of our time.
4 x 6 x 1/2"
