Gail Splaver
The Biography of the Brief but Gay Life of Polly Mantis

Accordion book with four original eraser-carved block prints, paper chemise

Gail used one eraser carving multiple times - adding to it and altering it - to create a story. She finds praying mantises make great protagonists in anthropomorphic plots.
