"Hydra Cats"
April 2019, Hydra, Greece
One of a kind, Original Art Object: Carousel Pop-Up Book
Made from 20 sheets of acid-free card stock within hard covers sealed with polyurethane.
5 illustrated panels, each in 4 nested accordion-folded layers. Original ink drawings, paper handcut with x-acto knife, hand painted with watercolors. Signed and dated.
"Hydra Cats" was created during my month-long art residency in Amsterdam and Greece in spring of 2019. This book was inspired by my visit to the magical little Greek Island of Hydra (pronounced EEE-dra, not Hi-dra), where there are no cars, just donkeys for hire to carry your suitcase and lots of friendly kitties. My walks and runs took me along the sea, over old ottoman bridges, nearby windmills and cliffs of happy daisies, with lemon trees and friendly cats in the villages.
This form is called a carousel book because it can be positioned in the round, or display open standing upright, face up on a table. Closes fully to store away in your library. Includes two sleek display stands for front-facing and in-the-round.
Closed: 11.75" tall x 4.5" wide
Open: 11.75" tall x 24" wide
