Escape from Eden, by Ippy Patterson

click to enlarge

Escape from Eden is an astonishing series of 15 drawings by Ippy Patterson. With intricately detailed rapidograph drawings, Ippy reinvents the story of the Creation up through Adam and Eve's expulsion from the Garden. The accordion book allows you to read each image individually as the story unfolds, or to view all 10' of its densely packed imagery at once. The book also features a poem by Keith Waldrop, "Paradise," on the reverse side from the drawings.
