2005, edition of 10

Approximate Size:
6 5/8" x 4 3/8" x 2 1/2" (H x W x D)
 
Materials:
Cut & folded paper
 
Description:
Made from a long scroll of heavy rag paper which is cut, folded and glued into a five layered box.

The order of the silhouettes correlate to the way we layer the clothing we wear. A trench coat forms the outer layer while a t-shirt and a pair of briefs delineate the inside edge.

The resulting configuration allows the viewer to to peer through four progressively smaller openings toward a thin sheet of pink skikibu paper. This paper floats within the final frame, casting a warm glow throughout.
