Gail Smuda Charles and Camilla is fiber and book board with two sections created from cloth napkins. His, Charles, is a beige color and Hers, Camilla, is a light pink color. The text comes from a newspaper story documenting the fact that the castle they spent a part of their honeymoon in had two bathrooms, each with three sinks. One sink was labeled "Teeth", one "Face" and one "Hands". The idea of three labeled sinks for each of them stuck me as pretty humorous and that was the premise of the book. Since Prince Charles purports to be "green" in so many ways the redundancy might have struck him as a bit humorous as well. Codex-style binding with pages made from linen napkins. Embroidery thread, book board and found lace fabric on the cover. 10.5 x 5.5 x 1 inches closed. 2005. Unique. To purchase this work please contact Laura at 23 Sandy Gallery. |
