Forest/Home

Another work from my artist's book class. This was an altered book assignment, and this 1970s  gem on evergreens called to me from the Savers rack. The book is about remembering childhood play in my woodsy back yard, and the scents and colors and textures associated with these memories. Inside is a removable door which reveals a rosebud on a robin's egg, which is a callback to several very specific memories of building "nests" from twigs and flowers and placing them in a tree next to some rose bushes, in hopes that they would be occupied by a grateful bird in the future.
