Wayfinding
| Description: |
Edition of 50 numbered copies, signed by the artist. Artist book that opens up to reveal 2 halves containing 2 large trays and one center leaf plus a magnet-held folded triangular overleaf each. The trays contain three-dimensional forms carved or cut from cardboard and the leaves feature landscapes, both real and abstract, human semaphores, and text. The books various segments bear the numbered section titles: 1. Tangible, 2. Abstract, 3. Coalescent and (unnumbered) Colophon. As such, Wayfinding explores how the natural environment transforms into a man-made version, and vice versa. Chen spent three years conceiving and building this work. She created an alphabet of human body positions and translated those shapes into rocky structures made of meticulously crafted, rough paper. Library has 27/50. |
