"Book of Hours was designed and created by Julie Chen & Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder. This long-distance collaboration, between
California and Texas, took place during the 2020-21 pandemic. The format of Book of Hours is known as a blow book, a historical
structure originally designed as a magic trick which allows the presenter to show completely different visual sequences of
pages within the same book. Book of Hours contains 12 distinct sequences. The first and last sequences on each side of the
book were designed by the two artists collaboratively, and the other eight sequences were designed individually by each artist.
These different narratives exist concurrently within the same space and time of this book but are activated sequentially by
the reader. The cone motif used throughout this book was inspired by the concept of the light cone which in general and special
relativity denotes a single point in space and time." -- Flying Fish Press website.
Limited edition of 88 copies, signed by both artists. Rare Books Room copy is edition 32 of 88 copies.
