A Hole in the Whole

Originally conceived as a unique, hand-painted book, this one-of-a-kind meditation on color and context by artist Eleonora Marton delights in the unexpected elements of life that make us whole.

Inspired by an imaginative game of free association, A Hole in the Whole presents juxtapositions of light and dark, the playful and the profound. Inside, Marton responds to over thirty-seven pairs of identical circles—contrasted and placed against bright pops of color, and increasing in size—with accompanying bits of text, sharing the connections (or surprising leaps) between them. The result is a color-drenched quest to pause and ponder that offers a whole new way of seeing and being.

For fans of Ruth Krauss’ A Moon or a Button, wordplay, color, and the slightly absurd.
