Archival box
This is a custom-made box that Éilís created as a special gift for a music fan. This handmade box was designed to hold a music collection along with a printed insert about the selected songs. Éilis used sumptuous materials such as black flocked paper to create a luxurious feel.
€500
One-of-a-kind artist's book
This very unusual book was developed in close collaboration with the client. The cover is made from handmade felt and has silver leaf embellishments throughout the book. Éilís designed and laid out the pages of the book using original sheet-music from Mozart's ‘The Marriage of Figaro’.
€4000-7000
Limited edition artist’s book
This is an edition of 500 artist’s books that Éilís designed, edited and published for the artist’s collective – Alanna O’Kelly, Orla Ryan and Brian Hand – for their 1916 Rising commission. Éilís worked closely with the artists creating a book with a distinctive structure to capture the turbulence of that time.
