Charles Hobson collection: design and production materials for artist's books, 1985-2016
Series 34. Seeing Stars, 2001
- Scope and content:
-
Seeing Stars uses die cut cards, a flashlight and a small story book to introduce readers to several prominent constellations. Greek stargazers in the 4th century BC gave the names of characters in the Andromeda myth to six constellations clustered together near the North Star. A child can use the flashlight to shine the shape of each character's constellation on the ceiling, wall or table. Design inspired by Andromeda Imagined.
