Reviews
Tunnel books are an old idea in a new form: creating the perspective of depth with 5-6 concertinaed panels of an image. Utilising the work of Henri Rousseau in this respect is almost heartbreaking in its conceptual purity: his beautiful, naive style results in a 3d image of great delicacy. The book needs lots of light to be effective - preferably direct overhead, but changing the light source and direction subtly alters the 3d effect. Play around with it. I know this sounds simplistic! but that's what this is about: some people will flip over this, others will be completely unmoved. Me? It's sitting right next to my monitor, ready to offer a shot of surreal beauty any moment I care.
