Wooden Fish and Polyester Stalactites: Tales of Domestic Life

A unique artist book describing a time in my early childhood when playing with matches, I caught our house on fire. Sadly, at the same time, my father, who was plagued with mental illness his entire life, was institutionalized for depression. That subtext is woven into the narrative. The pop-up elements include various stages of burning houses, fire hoses and flying fish.

Drum leaf binding, mixed media drawing and pop-up elements. 24 pages. 5.25 x 8 inches. Unique.
