Chris Rolik
Scientific Fundamentals for the Beauty Specialist: A Book of Hours

Polyphasic Press

Altered book, gold leaf, metallic watercolor, found objects

This ironic volume is a response to America's cult-like devotion to youth and beauty, plus a visit to the Cloisters for an up-close and personal look at ancient reliquaries. The hair and gold teeth are "relics" from Chris's father's family.
