Miniature Nameu Books

Binding - Concertina

Basswood covers, overlay of tanned Sturgeon skin, title embossed on the spine, text block of Epson Velvet Art Paper with text (Papyrus font) and micrographs of sturgeon structures printed with archival inks.

These two books are miniature versions of my larger Nameu book which focus on one of the most ancient fish on earth, the sturgeon or Nameu in Cree. The text highlights the sturgeon’s historical importance in indigenous and non-indigenous cultures. The sculptural skin on the cover and micrographs of tissues and development reveal the inherent beauty of these magnificent fish.
