Butterfly Book Mosaic Large Format Original Art

This works is constructed using large-format frames containing a grid of nine open-face books, arranged three across and three down. Each book functions as both an individual object and a fragment of a larger visual field.
The imagery is built in three intentional layers:
Layer One: the identity of the book itself—its pages, age, typography, and history
Layer Two: a vintage or antique circus poster, introducing spectacle, movement, and collective memory
Layer Three: an original poem, scaled to read continuously across all nine books, unifying the composition
The final image is digitally composed, then printed, tiled, and meticulously applied to each open book. When assembled, the individual volumes form a cohesive mosaic—where text, image, and object merge into a single narrative surface.
From a distance, the work reads as a unified artwork. Up close, the seams, page edges, and book forms reassert themselves, reminding the viewer that this story is made of parts—each with its own past.
These pieces explore memory, fragmentation, spectacle, and continuity, inviting the viewer to read visually, emotionally, and literally.
