Unique
This stand-alone artist book is also a maquette for a large temporary public art project which will hopefully be realized someday. It was inspired by the bamboo forest in Kyoto, Japan and the variety of kimono patterns worn there during cherry blossom season. 60 towers represent 6 continents with 12 fabrics from Japan, England, Iran, Africa, Indigenous Americans and Central/South America. Inside each tower is a fortune in the language of the country of origin of the fabric which viewers can see on the key which accompanies the box.
