A series of nine unique books celebrating the essential cyclical nature of art and the universe.  Spirals and labyrinths are universal symbols making the annual changes in the seasons. They have been used as in sacred rituals celebrating theconstant cycle of growth, especially in primitive and farming societies.            

Technical:   The pages were first printed with intaglio plates on an etching press, using Rives BFK paper with Graphic Chemical etching ink. Collographs and woodcutsof spirals and labyrinths were printed in color with Akua ink on top of the black. Acrylic paste painting and ink writing completed the pages.    The book is bound in the drum leaf style with a calf leather spine stamped on a woodcut, with paste paper sidesmade from the collographs from the book. A book box was made for each book with paste paper liners. Jill Bergman assisted with the printing, binding, and box-making.
