The project “Narratives” is a collaboration between graphic designer, Milena Leznicki and artist, Susan Martin Maffei. It features 14 tapestry scroll works by the artist in 19 fold out color offset printed plates as well as a small essay about the relationship of the works to this book form.

The book is a limited edition accordion book, hand made by the artist using French Canson and hand made Asia neutral ph papers and board. It is a hard cover cloth book imprinted with a subtle relief monogram of the artist.

The project was launched at an exhibit of the artist’s tapestries “Under the Influence-Objects of Obsession” at the GAGA arts center in New York in September and October. The book contains 7 of the works that were on view (See www.brennan-maffei.com for installation shots of the exhibit).

Handling and postage for US residents is $4.50, Canada & Mexico - $11.00, and $19.75 for all other countries. All payments in US dollars.
