This is a Medieval coin-book structure with content addressing a very modern concern: global warming.
Each of the five discs has a different theme. The top: species extinctions; the right: changes in weather patterns; the bottom: the population explosion; the left: polar ice melting, low areas flooding; the center: suggestions for what we can do to address these problems. The content is paraphrased from Al Gore's book, An Inconvenient Truth.
Each of the discs has a different format including origami fold-out, barn-door fold, semi-circular pages, pockets with pull-outs and a rotating moire screen. The pages are decorated with drawing, collage and writing. All of the decorated pages (marbled/paste) and case edge are by the artist. The book board, ribbons and fabric case are all reused materials.
