Edition of 12
A single sunflower was disassembled and then each petal and sepal, along with a tiny floret from the center, were scanned at high resolution. The scans are printed on BFK Rives and backed with Lokta papers. The backside of the petals are printed with the text of the book in archival ink. The text describes the evolution, physical attributes, and human engagements of the sunflower, culminating in a metaphorical anecdote related to climate change. Constructed of 69 pages – 34 petals and 34 sepals relating to the fibonacci sequence and one representative disc floret. Single leaf binding with a Chicago screw bolt, and housed in a fabric and davey board box.
