Autobiography Work-in-Progress

Description

Altered book, work in progress.

A copy of Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography which has been assertively altered - each spread has been cut down to a different architectural shape, edged with Japanese masking tape, eyeletted, and some have had holes or windows punched out (for later filling with acetate transparencies). All spreads thus have views behind and beyond to other spreads.

On this spread, the fish through the porthole is on the page at [link]
The mesh on the left is part of the backing for windows in the previous page.
The bird in the round window (top right) is on the page here: [link]

The theme is the layered world of childhood, using work from early 20th C children's book illustrators.
