Design utilizes the repetition of a few limited geometric elements. The letters of the title, parallel tooled lines, and circles punched into the vellum create a dynamic composition with asymmetrical boards uniting in a symmetrical whole. Each letter will be tooled half in gold and half in magenta, the tooled lines and colored shapes creating a vibrant effect offset against the smooth white vellum. The challenge of executing a design binding on De imitatione Christi lies in creating a modern design with a traditional sensibility, a spiritual binding in which the decoration balances beauty with severity.]]>2022-11-26T12:54:33-05:00
