Green Salad’s triple Turkish map-fold structure both conceals and reveals a poem nestled in the lettuce leaves, just as love can both hide and manifest itself in such simple activities as preparing and eating food.
I found this example, and the quote above, of the Turkish Map Fold in The Book as Art, a lovely illustrated volume of artists’ books collected by the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC. The book is by Katherine Glover and made of Tyvek.
This is an incredible book, and an excellent use of turkish map fold! Thanks for the share. I think that map folds are a super way to add excitement to artists’ books; I teach this particular one to students during the first week of class. They are drawn to the 3D effect, as well as the “aha!” factor that it creates.
Kudos for shedding some light on this gem of a paper-fold!
