A Hole in the Whole - Hardcover

by Eleonora Marton (Author)

A one-of-a-kind meditation on color and context, A Hole in the Whole by artist Eleonora Marton delights in the unexpected elements of life that make us whole.

Inspired by Ruth Krauss's A Moon or a Button, this artist's book presents over thirty-seven pairs of identical circles, each set contrasted in size, meaning, and color. Marton's accompanying text explores the surprising connections--or imaginative leaps--between them. With its playful yet profound juxtapositions of light and dark, serious and silly, this color-drenched journey invites readers to pause, reflect, and see the world anew.

Featuring an exposed spine, cardboard cover, and sprayed edges, A Hole in the Whole is perfect for fans of wordplay and slightly absurd.
