Storage Book
|
Background
The storage book is a concertina book structure invented by Hedi Kyle. (German born, taught at University of the Arts in Philadelphia). It's a versatile structure as it allows you to insert windows, doors, piercings, sewing, embedments, cutouts, mirrors, and pop-ups or mechanicals, such as the Volvelle in Valerie Carragan's model (she is based in Mass. and teaches at Bryant University, R.I.). It's also a very clean and simple binding, and would be great for working with deeply debossed prints if you didn't want the backside to be visible. Macy Chadwick (In Cahoots Press & Residency, Petaluma, CA) is an artist who has worked extensively with this structure, as you'll see in the photos here!
