my wife Ioana recently finished an edition of artist books as part of a grant project, and created this short (4 min) video to showcase the work:
https://youtu.be/QssRiZ4GtkI <https://youtu.be/QssRiZ4GtkI> There are 9 separate geometric slipcases that fit together in a larger square container, and each slipcase has an origami-inspired book structure within. (note: the book arts world uses all sorts of folding structures for books, but rarely creates anything NEW in this - mostly accordion/waterbomb type structures, used over and over. So this project focused on creating entirely new ones.) All paper is handmade from old linen scraps and abaca. It’s on display at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts until February 20th (http://mnbookarts.org <http://mnbookarts.org/>), in Minneapolis, MN, in case you happen to be in the area.
