THE GIFT OF THE ROSETTA STONE
The Gift Of The Rosetta Stone
I was reading about the Rosetta stone and followed the links to images of hieroglyphs. I found this other written language interesting and inspiring, especially since the ability to understand it was lost for such a long time.
This book is a form of accordion. The pages are graduated so that a limited area of each edge is shown. This form came about when I was playing with measurements and paper.
The following eight cards make up the book. Each card is 4 x 6 inches/10 x 15.3 cm. The hieroglyphs and figures are hand drawn, using actual portions of hieroglyphs and the Rosetta stone. They are coloured with water colours and ink.
