A NOTE FROM THE ARTIST ABOUT MATERIALS AND TECHNIQUE: "The Foliage Library promotes environmental & botanical education through illustrated geometric folding books and mixed-media illustrations with forms that relate conceptually to their content. The artist books are handmade using a 3-ply method; a layer of Bristol board is sandwiched between 2 layers of paper that are printed with the illustrations. The printed layers have alternating cuts and scores, allowing the thick pages to fold. They also have book reproductions made of thick folded paper, and hand-assembled geometric folding cards."
