"A collection of children's handwritten envelopes salvaged from the Santa Claus Central Post Office in Lapland are intricately sewn together to create a book documenting the dreams of children worldwide. Each letter is methodically removed on site and the envelopes are kept and sold to raise money for Unicef. Open edition; binding based on a 4th century Coptic stitch, with soft covers. Each book is entirely unique. Various sizes, 2002-2008."--Artist's website. - Subject Terms:
