The Book from Before

Book Concept & Design: Kelly Limerick | Typography Design: AMIEN | Woodcarving: Derrick Ng | Book production: Mandy Ng

The book can be displayed in a variety of formats with its accordion fold design

The accordion hides a secondary fold, where the exhibition essay is hidden. This forms a round hole in the middle, inspired by the themes of the show.
