Seen // Unseen by Erin Mickelson

Seen // Unseen is an expression of the vastness of all that is obscured, unnoticed, and unknown—compared with the limited amount of information we consider to be known and certain. Chine-colle suminagashi elements form the shape of an abstract iceberg. The tip of the iceberg is small, and the color palette is limited to mostly black and white. The submerged portion of the iceberg is larger and contains a multitude of colors, but it is obscured by a sheet of translucent velum. The print and the velum sheet are protected by an acrylic “title page”, and all elements are housed in a drop spine box.
