30th Anniversary Benefit Auction: Caitlin Moore

Posted byBrenna CampbellPosted in30th Anniversary

Caitlin MooreAbout the Binding:

This binding is a paper case made from Zaansch bord, a heavy weight dutch windmill paper. The design was hand stenciled in watercolor using the pochoir technique.

I chose the paper case because it is the book structure I most associate with my time in the UI conservation lab. The design I chose because corn is such an iconic part of the landscape and my favorite view in Iowa.

Estimated Value: $250
