06. Lilies of the Valley, Reconfigured book, wire
Lilies of the Valley was reconfigured from the book: Châteaux of The Loire Valley.
The inspiration for this book came from a paragraph in the text, which read: 'The Loire Valley (le Val de Loire) is often called the Garden of France.' Each of the Châteaux images contained within the book, were made into an origami lily and inserted into their rightful place on a map, also taken from the original book.In collection: Centre for Fine Print research, Bristol, UK.
