The entire This Earthen Door project of 100 archival prints is contained in an archival 17x22x4” folio box. The folio has two separate folders inside, both stamped with gold foil. Edition of 9. 

Folio 1, HERBARIUM, contains 66 prints, each an anthotype made with a different plant species pressed in Emily Dickinson’s herbarium, reanimating her 66 page book. Folio 1 includes printed text pages that describe the Dickinson flower with their latin names, and our analogous species used to make our print. 

Folio 2, CHROMOTAXIA, contains 33 prints, each one a color story or “data drawing” that speaks to ecological themes. There is one silhouette of Emily Dickinson, an anthotype made with a red daylily. The Collector’s Box Folio 2 also contains printed text pages as a legend - stories that speak to each data drawing. The folio contains an introductory page and a colophon. Edition of 9 plus 2 APs.
