New York: Béatrice Coron, 2016. Paperback. Number 3 of 6 copies. This witty and amusing work was a collaborative project between paper maker, Aimee Lee and papercut artist, Béatrice Coron, based on texts by Mick Stern. They had great fun creating 18 images and "field notes" of improbable ducks. For example: "Duck blinds - He navigates by Ultrasound, GPS and a cane." Or, "Duck Soup - The Marx Brothers' Favorite Lunch." Coron's handcut Tyvek duck images are laminated within hand-made paper made by Aimee Lee, with handwritten text on each sheet. These 18 sheets can be viewed individually or displayed as an installation. The paper is sewn along the top and bottom edges to allow for a rod to be inserted for display purposes. It was shown in 2016 at "Confluence: Twelve Collaborations," at the Morgan Conservatory, Cleveland, OH. Housed in a stiff paper portfolio with title and description on attached tab. In fine condition. Each sheet measures 9 x 9 inches.

Coron describes her book work: "For the last 20 years, I have been exploring visual storytelling in artist books, paper cutting and public art. Collecting memories from individuals and communities, I stage narrative allegories in silhouette to create a dialogue with the viewer in playful fantasies. These visual chronicles record archetypal stories that transcend time and space. I have been fascinated by the relation of people to their space and the sense of belonging. Using papercutting where everything is cut from a single piece of Tyvek, the profusion of individual stories makes a coherent whole world." [From her website] ARTISTSB/081921. Fine.
