Text and lettering blind embossed, text printed on inkjet printer on translucent paper, Cover paper – (Griffen Mill) with hand decorated woven paste-down strips, bonded tape for flexibility. Leather hand-decorated lettering on cover.
Scandinavia is linked culturally, historically and in many more ways. As it is my cultural heritage I wanted to create a piece of work to reflect this, based on a neutral palette to represent the interlocking of this part of Europe. The images are symbolic representing land, ice, snow and water.
