Using hand-colored etchings of tiny chapels and an ancient bookbinding style, this piece provides eight tiny fold-out chapels with illustrations of imaginary saints. Each "chapel" is bound to a tiny acchordian style binding with floss which has then been transformed into rosaries to aid the viewer in prayerful contemplation.
