Description

Title from box.;" 'The Veil' was written and designed by Julie Chen in the fall of 2002. It was letterpress printed using a combination of photopolymer plates and collagraphic blocks on Wyndstone Marble papers, and cut using a Universal Systems Lasercutter. The binding was done by Julie Chen and Anna Sacramento at the studios of Flying Fish Press. The text that appears on the back layer of pages is from the preamble to the Charter of the United Nations which was written in 1945. --Box lining paper.";"Limited ed.of 100 copies, signed and numbered by the artist.";" This book can be displayed as a standing sculpture by curving the concertina into a circle, with all the pages facing outward, until the front and back covers touch. Magnets embedded in the covers will hold the book open in this position --Colophon.";"Book is a nested accordion structure. Each numbered opening has an image of the world seen through an increasingly dense veil of cut paper. Book is in a box (33 x 22 cm.) with magnetized closure.";"Library's copy 1 (Special Collect): Purchased. In container 34 cm."
