Between Folds / British Birds

A History of British Birds by the Rev. F.O. Morris. Vol II, 2nd edition. London: George Bell & Sons, 1870

Between Folds / British Birds is a diptych that consists of a study where two geometric shapes overlap, interpreted in two complementary ways. The different folds and delicate hand-coloured wood engravings have been arranged so as to balance each other out, and the piece includes every single page of this early second edition volume.
