Dryland Codex (in progress, post 3)

Here are the approximately 5″ x 4″ fabric applique covers for my accordion book Dryland Codex, which I should be finishing in June (if I don’t keep adding to it.)

Dryland Codex detail

The cover art and the fold-out painting on the book itself are somewhat influenced by the artwork of American artist Jane Filer. Her abstracted landscape and urban paintings have one of my recurring temptations for about a decade. She’s one of those artists who would definitely be in my ‘collection’ if I had room and finances to have one.
