Biography

This trompe-l'oeil assemblage is fabricated entirely in wood; including the book. The wood structure is oil-painted, stained and gilt.
The text and illustrations presented on the pages of the open book simulate the format of a medieval, illuminated manuscript. However,the story and paintings reveal a surprising tale of a modern-day "tragedy": Death of the Dinosaurs. Here, dinosaurs symbolize the decaying doyens of corrupt, Old Guard, big business.
