Ditty of First Desire (2007) A poem by Federico Garcia Lorca. 5.5 x 5 .5 inches. A unique "cootie-catcher" shaped book made using paste papers with paintings of nudes. Clamshell box. $450.


This book has a playful quality. The reader unfolds the layers of the "book" to reveal the poem and also the entire painting of the nude, the object of the "desire". The paintings were done with a live model in a session at the Penland School of Crafts.
