Applying Pressure to the Wound
Judith Margolis
2004
Concertina Book
In an attempt to avoid bad news and express grief, I used collaged and painted visual images to tell a story without words. These include yoga postures, first-aid advice, references to terrorism, depictions of sexual attraction, and so much more, The images are applied to both sides of concertina pages, making a book that unfolds continuously.
