I love Marie's work - and was so happy to receive this beauty yesterday. One of her books that reminded me of a bunker when I saw it on another blog, but in real life it is made from wonderful brown Japanese paper and bits and pieces of Russian chemical formulas and Japanese text, with a clear pocket of shredded paper. I couldn't even manage physics and chemistry in English let alone Russian, so Marie either is one CLEVER girl or has ripped up an old lab book again....

The white asemics down the side look like unravelling threads - what a treasure! Thanks again Marie, it is superb.

You received a bunker piece, Lesley, they are priceless. As you say, the brown Japanese paper is gorgeous, and we couldn't really see that in the original photo. Thanks for blogging another treasure from Marie.
