Madame Adam by Linda Welch

Concealed Within is an ongoing series of unique book objects. Original book pages are folded, bound with cord and collaged with mixed media, papers, painting, and screen printing. This bundle is then sealed with hot wax. Each book is housed in a matching slipcase. Book and slipcase contain a matching number, word or code signifying the title of each work. This series speaks to the appreciation for tangible qualities of a book, yet implies the inability to access the content.

Madame Adam, aka Juliette Lambert, 1836 to 1936. She was a French author and feminist who lived through many tumultuous chapters of French history, including the Revolution of 1848.
