Year of the Tiger began with FABRICATIONS: Books and Story-Based Objects made from a mixture of materials including felt, beeswax, glass, artificial sinew, cork, wood, and paper. All very much inspired by viewing an installation at Los Angeles County Museum of Art and seeing multiples by German artist Joseph Beuys. Please inquire for price. All photos on this page by Sibila Savage (unless otherwise indicated): larger images may be seen by clicking on each photo or going through them here.
