Codex Paradoxa Metamorphosis













These are pages from  a book I made called Codex Paradoxa Metamorphosis. The title comes from a book illustrated by Maria Sibylla Merian, in the 1600's. My book is an accordion book, based on a Meso-American model. The pages measure 20 inches by 30 inches and are attached to each other by red string. When it is completely unfolded, Codex Paradoxa Metamorphosis stretches twenty feet long. I showed this book at La Casa Azul Bookstore in New York from October until December.
