DescriptionThis work, which is a three-part piece commemorating and closing out three decades of Norton Holiday gifts, is made up of three parts:

1. A printed book which summarizes each project from 1988 through 2017

2. A scorpion sculpture, which has been excised from the spine of the book (much like a jigsaw puzzle)

3. A video book which also summarizes the projects in motion and sound.

The format of this project and its scorpion theme were inspired by an original art work by Robert The.
