Linda Gardiner

Traverse City, Michigan

I was fortunate to be invited on a group trip to Italy with my father in 2005. I wanted to create a visual remembrance of the trip using my own photos and items gathered on the trip. Using multiple fold-out pages gives the viewer an opportunity to wander through the book more interactively.

Modified Japanese stab bound structure, multiple fold outs with spacers, hand cut photos with hand made paper labels, stamps & acrylic paints. Photos of Italy by the artist.
