Accordion book assembled from eco-printed and waxed papers cut into pieces based on triangles and polygons. The book folds flat (as an 8″ square) and can be pulled open and extended into multiple forms as a sculptural structure built from geometric shapes. The process of eco-printing: Native Connecticut leaves were gathered on my walks and printed on the papers using heat and pressure to extract the dye pigments.
