Set in mosaic, this artists’ book unfolds as a rosary - the prayer beads. All five decades of the rosary are encrusted within 15 pages. Each page holds a prayer, so that even the uninitiated can use it to say the beads.

Artist statement: An attempt to be in the good books of my Catholic mother-in-law brought about this book. And she liked it. Next stop: Vatican.
