This is one of the first large books Tighe created. The wood cover was distressed and stained, digital images affixed and enhanced, molten glass beads added. The hammered bronze medallion, fashioned years before and by now well patinated and aged, had been left on a shelf to await a use. It seemed perfect for the inclusion on the book cover.
Size: 80 x 66 x 7 cm

Tighe's long-time patron, Robert Pierse, pursued the purchase of this first of Tighe's large art books until the artist relented and personalized it with a dedication, expressing his appreciation for Robert's support through the years.
