In Situ Picture Book II / Ghost / Claire Jeanine Satin

This second book is by Claire Jeanine Satin. This is the second pamphlet bound book this artists creates using this type of media. Other things used were india ink, wax crayons, mylar enclosure with a ribbon, and metallic ink for the writing. All the book is, is repeated images that were put over and over throughout the book. This book might seem a bit gothic and creepy to some people but I think the artist does a good job by adding a bow that ties the book in. And giving it a softer feel that might  make it more approachable to people who might not think of picking up this type of book. I like this book because even though there really isn't much of a story and it's just the same images over and over photocopied on. You feel like your're  looking at a different image every time whichever way you turn the book. And the craftsmanship with the silver lettering gives it a clean finish.
