Coronus Imperialis by James Allen
$2,400.00
| Corona Imperialis is a book excavation made during the pandemic using a book filled with illustrations of the flowers of the palatial grounds at Eichstätt, Bavaria. The book serves as my memorial to those lost to the Corona Virus. Colorful flowers emerge above pages that curl down like leaves or petals. |
