Codex grew to dominate my efforts at Moving Parts Press. The Press, which had been a public place with clients and students coming and going daily, became a private studio devoted to the development of a monumental work. The Codex shifted the emphasis of my book work from the literary to the sculptural, drawing upon models of the Mesoamerican codex, western European bookmaking and Japanese binding structures.
