A Circumnavigation, 2012
Every step made towards a horizon reveals yet another horizon just steps beyond, whether it be the distant mountains or the imperceptible future. This binding, with its continuous cylindrical structure, reflects the mystery of what is beyond the horizon, withholding the content of its pages from every approach. The circular format alludes to the horizon's circle around the observer; the color pattern in the spine suggests Earth's oceans and continents. The volume is a continuous circular binding linked three-down on raised cords, with a three-step link stitch headband.
