Ham and lettuce sandwich

Helen Sanderson’s work playfully draws on the connection between paper and books, using offcuts from a printer to create a shrink-wrapped ‘book’ in the form of a sandwich. It crosses boundaries in that it is impenetrable, never meant to be opened and consumed, and it is sculptural in form. It is a good example of an artist’s book that can literally be almost anything, confounding, surprising and amusing audiences.
