Suite of 27 prints (lithography, cyanotype, digital, screenprint, etching, letterpress and woodcut) in a custom-made oak wood storage box with etching and letterpress cover image (on lid) and lithography inventory list (inside lid).
A staple of Dion’s work has been his use of Renaissance collections known as wunderkammern, curiosity cabinets containing encyclopedic collections of exotic items. World in a Box is a suite of 27 charts, graphs, diagrams and lists, a wunderkammer in a box. It makes use of many different printmaking techniques, including lithography, etching, digital printing, cyanotype, woodcut, letterpress, screenprint and direct gravure. The prints making up World in a Box are contained in a handcrafted wooden box including a colophon that gives the name of each print, and which is signed by Dion.
