Land Forms and Air Currents by Carol Barton

$2,000.00 - Please contact 23 Sandy for current availability.
Land Forms and Air Currents is my most ambitious work to date. The book travels across time and space, through beautiful layered landscapes accompanied by spare, image-filled poems. Stretching over 250 inches in length when fully opened, the accordion book incorporates scanned images of my original watercolors with floating pop-up additions. In this edition, I have melded my original background as a painter with my paper engineering skills.
