A single-instance (one of a kind) artist's book in accordion-fold format with handwritten text presenting facts about soil. Includes collage, movable and pop-up elements, one incorporating a removable piece. Text and illustrations only on the front of the accordion surface. Many different types of papers used. Bound in boards covered in green paper with a pattern of clover. Title printed archival inkjet on panel inset on front board.
"Colored pencil drawings. Handwritten text with Sakura Pigma Micron pens. Papers: Fabriano Ingres, Canson Mi-Teintes, printed lokta, kozo chiri, kozo with banana fibers (two kinds), unryu with threads, kozo with mango leaves, kozo with water hyacinth fibers, ogura lace hemp, Strathmore textured, Strathmore petal inclusion, origami, and Mohawk. Other materials: metal brad and binders' board"--Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, viewed Feb. 7, 2014.
"As a gardener, I began reflecting on the wonders of soil, the resource supporting the world's food crops, forests, and more. In learning details, though, I realized just how little I (and most others) know about this crucial, varied, threatened realm so vital to countless aspects of life. This book became an invitation for others to join me in exploring the small amount of soil on Earth, the wonders of soil's key features, and the complexities of soil horizons, or layers. The content is presented through multiple movable elements. The two left-section panels of the accordion contain a volvelle, a turning circle, a dissolve, and other text about soil's key features, its distribution on the planet, and its importance in sustaining various life forms. A central multifold feature with plant-like cutouts accents the layered-paper depiction of soil horizons, and a small pop-up feature highlights an amazing fact about soil formation. The two right-section panels contain a sliding mechanism with details on soil horizons, papers keyed to the central panels' paper-layer horizons, and a dissolve depicting soil degradation and depletion. I hope that Hidden Horizons will spark curiosity and wonder, leading, in turn, to greater concern for protecting our world's soil reserves"--Artist's statement on Vamp & Tramp Booksellers website, viewed Feb. 7, 2014.
