Sun Evrard conceived the idea, John Tonkin designed the construction,
and the colour plates were made by Sun Evrard and John Tonkin.
Frank Wiesner supplied the wooden pages; & Serge Amburger
manufactured the hinges & assembled the wooden pages to them'

Tennis Ball

Yellow tennis ball, cut in half, hinged and pages with text inserted.
"Tennis Ball is the concrete form of my thinking about
the intersection of book as an abstract idea,
as an object and as the carrier of information."
