- Artist's book. Six accordion folded panels into which are cut botanical designs within a circular frame. The first and last panels are attached to blue cloth-covered boards, which both have square cut-outs. The book may be stood up, with panels spaced out, allowing the viewer to peer through all six cut-outs, and offering a scene of dense vegetation.
Panels are hand-stitched together with white thread. The ends of the thread are untrimmed and protrude from the edges of the book.
