A wordless visual retelling of "A midsummer night's dream" using a combination of old and new technologies: intagio printmaking and laser cutting. The result is a panoramic piece of book art that visually narrates the story and draws inspiration from the imagery of the text. Intersecting accordion-folded sheets form sixteen vignettes of scenes from the play.
