Each book is a concertina panel with five pairs of images. Each panel has been hand embellished with embroidery in red silk thread (the rope used in the images was red hemp).

The pattern of embroidery in each book is subtly different. The book is totally hand-bound, and there is also an attached handmade portfolio in the back which contains two signed and numbered limited edition c-type prints, one pair of images from the book itself.

There is also a deluxe edition which contains TEN signed and numbered limited edition c-type prints, ALL of of images from the book itself.

Series of 12: 2 with a complete set of C-type prints of images used, 10 with one pair of C-type prints

Closed: 15.4 cm x 21 cm Open: 148 cm x 21 cm

Bookbinders board, Pellaq Lizard book cloth; Concertina binding;Giclee Watercolour Edition print, red silk thread, sateen portfolio. There is a choice of a red or black cover, with corresponding matching colour portfolio.

The ten editions with two C-type prints are priced at £170. The Deluxe edition with ten C-type prints is priced at £500.

The book is an exploration of comparing the mundane, using something as simple as basic ropework, and re-interpreting them using techniques from (kinbaku) and (shibari). While using the traditional techniques of book-binding and the beautiful materials usual associated with artists books, this book takes the non-traditional path of using images alone to tell its message: this makes the message more enigmatic, and more open to interpretation by the reader.
