+/- One Percent, 2011
+/- One Percent explores the duplicative and yet wildly variant nature of heredity and the human genetic code. The book, created by Elizabeth Curren, Alessandra Echeverri, Stephanie A. Hess, Amy Gonzales, Kristin Gudbrandsdottir, Camden M. Richards, Elizabeth Schendel, Lynette Spencer under the direction of Professor Lynn Sures, is a work comprised of three innovative books in a multi-layered, nested structure with traditional letterpress, as well as contemporary digital and collagraph printed imagery and text. The book is comprised of structures which follow an arc from traditional to modern to experimental: ancient Coptic, multifaceted accordion/flag, and sculptural spiral, using mill- and hand-made papers and cloth. Each structure in its own distinctive way works together with the others to explore the complex ties between human DNA, family relationships, individualism, and identity.
