Reference note:
My-metamorfose-proses glimpses into my engagement with the physical process of painting, taking photographs and book-binding. I explored the analogy between the workings of these processes and the way in which I, as a human being, travel through and articulate my inner responses to my day-to-day experiences.

The artists book showed itself as a way of gathering all these layered experiences; and the accordion-fold binding provided the possibility of viewing the content like a long, in-depth, inner-and outer journey.

Accordion fold artists book in a handmade solander box, Handbound by the artist. The book and solander box are covered with the artist's studio rags.
