Cover/Case for the artist book "The Dinosaur." Laser-cut masonite.

Project Description

Memory association is one of the most powerful ways we create meaning in our lives. The Dinosaur is a personal memoir that uses layers of engraved acrylic to evoke the feeling of being lost in memory. Enclosed in a simple custom box “cover,” this book inevitably provokes the sharing of memories with others.

The fins of the dinosaur are fixed in place, with the center composed of acrylic “pages” that can be re-arranged in any order. The story is all visible, but different arrangements of the pages emphasize and de-emphasize different elements.
