Description
"Inked" by Elsi Vassdal Ellis is an artist's book layered with rich colors. Inside, circle cutouts allow the reader to see through to the other pages' different color schemes and designs. The pages' colors range in intensity, as some are brighter and some appear almost burnt. While the physical pages are flat and untextured, they have ample visual texture. As one flips through the book, lines and shapes break up the colors and shades, making the pages appear as if they are cracked. Overall, the book is an abstract, experimental celebration of the richness of color and texture that ink can create.
