Cover: Alluding to the sea and the sky, the exterior is covered with
muted-gold and lagoon-green raw silk (though the distinction in color is hard to distinguish in the photo); between them lies a woven ribbon that I hand beaded to represent the richness of Venice’s skyline.
Inner cover: Ivory Fabriano paper printed with an
original text and a reproduction of an 1838 map
showing the Grand Canal’s fabulous double curve.
Removable booklet: Over two hundred photographs are
printed on heavyweight matte photo paper; the first and
last folds are gold paper printed with an original text.
