As unbelievable as it may seem, the catalogue in this photo has been made from a single sheet of paper and, when folded up, fits into the box that you can see at the back. The box is also part of the structure.Ed designed it for the Anchorage Museum of History and Art in 1995 for a show of Artist's Boxes.
As part of the session we did today on single sheet structures Ed took out the single sheet that had this catalogue printed on it and demonstrated how it folded up to produce this catalogue in a box.
Needless to say, the structures we learned to make today were many times simpler than this. We learned how to fold and cut A4 sheets to make books and how to illustrate them so that the images appear in the correct place. Always a useful thing to know. We made some boxes as well.
The items I made are way too noddy to photograph for posting here so I'll make some decent samples before I do that.

Yes, Ed's work is amazing. I wonder how long it took him to work it out?
