''Masdevallia'
Sarah Bodman
Masdevallia was created as a play on the claims of beauty-product manufacturers.The book is a mock catalogue of advertisements,
featuring poisonous or carnivorous plants, which look and sound attractive, but ultimately provide an assault on the senses.
The images and colours used reflect the pastels and rich colours of the original products, with the clues hidden within the text.

Water-based screenprint, monoprinted through photographic stencils. Bound in silver chromalux covers with white full-ring bind.
