Book Arts - raven's map

Book Arts is the art of creating, printing and binding books. (look up Artists' Books on wikipedia)

This was made over a year ago, an assignment in my modern book binding class, the raven sculpture, ( ~3 ft long, wire, book board, newspaper, masking tape and black paper) is a box or container for the book.

The book (12 x 4 in, accordion fold, recycled paper ink and pencil) is an abstract map i created.

dorky, but fun to make. i think after this i realized that i dislike creating these bird sculptures when they end up being to literal.
