Final Artist's Book Project

Here's my final project for my book arts class.


It's called "Proof." The binding is made to look like a tiny interdepartmental mail envelope


Inside are: minature file folders! They're about 4.5 cm by 7.5 cm.


The first tab is labeled "NY." Inside are a map, photos, pieces of a poem, and a timeline.


The second tab is "SF." Same type of materials inside, but all different. The photos are actual photos—in miniature.


The last tab is "LA."


This is the Colophon. It says, "'Proof' was manufactured in an edition of one because the minimization of AIDS in America continues to this day."


If you put all the timeline pieces together, you get this. Three men kissing.

The number three is important to the book. Three cities. Three is the number required to make something increase exponentially. 3 x 3 x 3...
