I was reading **Tove Jansson's "The Summer Book"** on a flight back from Helsinki and there's a passage where the grandmother describes the cottage rooms as overlapping rectangles she can walk between in her head. I drew the shapes on the airplane napkin. This collage is the finished version, three months later, with the angles fixed.
Notes on making
The paper is Canson Mi-Teintes 160 gsm, cut with a scalpel against a steel rule. The dashed line at the bottom is a single piece of gum-strip torn precisely along the perforation.
