Art by Terri Thoman. Text by Patrice Miller

The Chinese Zodiac reproduces at reduced scale printmaker Terri Thoman’s series. The book and its enclosure designs were inspired by the artist’s east-meets-west approach to the subject matter. Created as a star binding with exposed stitch spine, the prints are showcased in a gallery format. Together with its accordion-folded text ‘wings,’ the overall presentation is meant to subtly evoke a Chinese parade dragon or fireworks.

Text printed in 7 pt Candara and display in Lucinda Handright on  Epson watercolor. Book also features Indian rag-painted, Lama Li Lokta, and Shinriku papers along with slubbed silk book cloth are employed. An edition of ten was created. SOLD OUT

Dimensions without cover: 2 3/4″ x 2 3/8″.
