Terminal Velocity
No full textArtists\u27 Statement: Falling at 54 meters per second, the life of a skydiver depends on his parachute\u27s deployment. I went to work to save this book\u27s life. After some careful math, cutting, and sewing, the parachute was constructed. By sewing pockets into each seam along the parachute, I was able to thread it with I2 gauge aluminum jewelry metal to hold its shape. I then drilled two holes through the book\u27s cover and pages and inserted the aluminum, creating a sturdy base. After many hours of trial and error, this artist book was complete.\u27https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/altered_book/1071/thumbnail.jp
