Northern California book artists Katherine Venturelli is visiting Santa Fe this month and last week she came by my studio for a visit. She contacted me because I did a post about her book Alchemic Calculations (below) last year.
I thought it was a turkish map fold, but it’s not (really this). Katherine does use the turkish map fold quite a bit in her work, and she brought some examples with her. On her website, she’s even labelled them! Here’s one called “Universe at Play.”
I love the hand drawn math calculations on one side and the prints of the cosmos on the other! And it was fun to talk with her about where we show our books, who we know in common, and especially to see her work in person.
Do check out her website for many more images.
