About this work
Description
"A leporello depicting the life-size scan, 152cm, of a sculpture of the same name: a tube of French knitting made from salami skins. As various sections of the original sculpture are stitched from material collected from the casings of charcuterie: saucisson, chorizo, bresaola, with their diverse colours, transparencies, weights and strengths, so the pages of the book are printed on different types of Japanese papers, Kozo, Mitsumata, Inbe, Okawara. At the bottom of the book, image returns to material with collaged salami skin continuing the line, threaded through the folio cover, and held with a wax seal depicting an anus."--From artitst's website
