A LOVE OBEAH
Layla
Product Description: A concertina book, bound with a
continuous length of string. This string can be tied around the books exterior.
The cover has been constructed using layered palm leaves. Each page has been
scored to leave a designated spine, thus allowing the book to stand up and
support itself.
The narrative follows the construction of a potion, although
the reader is initially led to believe it is a simple food recipe. Miniature,
hand rendered type is accompanied by various bags of ephemera. Within these bags
are various spices and nuts, progressing into a needle, a feather and a snippet
of genuine hair. The creepy narrative and sealed items, juxtapose the dainty, hand rendered
type and blank space.
Publication Details: Produced for a unit from BA (Hons)
Illustration (University of Portsmouth), Concertina book, Cartridge paper.
“A Love Obeah” was created by University of Portsmouth
alumni, Layla Brook.
