This is a beautifully crafted book by notable book artist Julie Chen. Chen is the founder of Flying Fish Press, a publisher of limited-edition artist’s books. The book True to Life is in the form of a tablet with sliding pages, wooden handles, and a plexiglass window. The reader can create different combinations of text and images, which corresponds to the shifting nature of memory. Signed and numbered by the artist.
