Additional notes:
Book and components to build a model for a chapel devoted to the alphabet by Jeff Morin. Box 16x12inches. Most of the various colour papers were made at Caren Heft's Root River Mill. Wood type in different colours is used as page decoration and on the front cover. The box lid forms the base for the chapel; brass holes in the base allow the rods to fit exactly; printed bype collage becomes the floor pattern. Letters indicate which wall is placed in a particular set of holes. The model has six walls, a roof, and the base. Copper rod skeleton with Okawara rice paper skin are covered with a casting resin after the technical drawings are transferred using an inkjet printer. The roof is copper-leafted davey board, and it also forms the tray in which the book rests. The box is painted with copper leaf. Including pamphlet and prospectus for exhibition 1/12/03-25/1/04.

Included in the special exhibition at the Library of Congress on 19th April, 2013 for CODEX Mexico.
