April 2018, Sofia, Bulgaria

5 illustrated panels, each in 4 nested accordion-folded layers.
Original ink drawings, paper handcut with x-acto knife. Signed and dated.
Includes two sleek display stands for front-facing and in-the-round.
"Little Chapels" was created during my month-long art residency in Sofia, Bulgaria in April 2018. I ws inspired by the little bodyless floating angels, just with heads, halos, and wings panited in frescoes in the nearby Alexsandar Nevski Cathedral, paired with magical creatures of my home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina: owls, lady slipper orchids, bumblebees, luna moth, and deer. Here and there, home and away in multiple layers of wonder in delicate drawings and intricate papercut.
This form is called a carousel book because it can be positioned in the round, or display open standing upright, face up on a table. Closes fully to store away in your library.
