Book of Hours version 3 is a re-working of version 1, created in 2004. This re-working was necessitated when one of the 8 original porcelain disks was stolen during an exhibition. For a while I thought about recreating the missing disc but never did. Now, nearly 20 years later, I’ve entirely revised the text & materials for the discs. Version 3 is created with hand-embroidered botanical printed paper & goat. The original outer box is of porcelain & rabbit fur.
