"A miniature Hall of Ocean Life, this artist's book contains eight drawers, which, when pulled out of the box that houses them, reveal dioramas of eight different ocean-faring animals, each with its own booklet describing the animal and its peculiar habits and history. The animals were constructed using book board, aluminum wire, lokta paper, rice paper, and cotton embroidery floss. Some have linoleum-printed skins ... The book stays closed with a bone clasp."--Artist's website.
