About the Item
Cryptic Magic is an investigation into symbols, their power and how they are given mysterious attributes to represent the spiritual. The book is presenting a vocabulary of signs and symbols to connect the physical and the emotional. Different Ethiopian symbols are laser cut on each page; their overlapping and intersection generate new meanings. The magnets embedded in the covers and the accordion structure allows the audience to interact with the book creating different connections between the symbols and compressing or extending the structure for more sculptural appearance.
Laser cut handmade flax paper, 40 Folios, wooden boards covered with flax paper, linen thread, magnets, modified accordion binding.
