Additional notes:
Jacob's Ladder format book. Printed on rives BFK and with colorful collages mounted on acid free boards, tied together with an assortment of colorful ribbon, the book is about the color experience. A paper wrapper houses the book and as each layer unfolds it provides a short description of color.

‘Concept Color’ flips to reveal fragments of text and color shapes. An adventure in color, the book is simple and joyous, using the Jacob's Ladder structure, a book technique developed during the 1800s. To function, the ladder must be picked up at the end and held in a horizontal position to release the first section, which then tumbles down into the next, continuing until it reaches the bottom. Reversing the driection brings the ladder back to its original position.
