I admire the efficiency of material here: a power-coated steel sculpture of a candle, which
suggests its own shadow.

Numero
San Francisco, USA: Chronicle Books, 2013
24 pp., 7.1 x 4.5 x 0.9", hardcover
Edition size unknown
Even better than her renowned Alphabet popup book ABC3D (2008), Numero takes the basic forms of 0 and 1 as the building blocks for the remaining 8 digits. An elegant and concise play on the binary code.
Available here and here.

Folding Ruler
Toronto, Canada: Paul + Wendy Projects, 2013
130 cm x 2 cm x 1.5 cm
Grey foil stamp on die-cut card, silver-coloured rivets
Edition of 100
This versatile multiple (it can function as both a wall or shelf piece) regrettably speaks to a personal blind spot which I've carried through childhood and into adulthood and can indeed complicate my day to day trajectory. A fitting gift for friends and family who may suffer from the same affliction.
Available here, for $50 CDN.
