Reference note:
The book was made in 2010. It is a follow on from a series of paintings in which I commented on infidelity and the journey of my marriage using Alice in Wonderland imagery and prose I had written. I had images of the paintings printed in archival ink onto Hahnemuhle paper and I worked into them with sandpaper and inks. I hand-wrote the prose onto tracing paper as overlays onto the images. The binding was done at the UCT book department.

Hardcover deep red, gold embossed title, ribbon with wax stamp. 12 pages Hahnemuhle with archival and artists ink. 12 pages tracing paper with ink and oil paint.
