The work was described as "a unique, 120 page codex that expresses the artist's personal values relating to labour.  The pages of the books are hand sanded chromium oxide and silicon carbide microfinishing films - surfaces that are extremely hard to erase - , interwoven with hand coloured frosted mylar and meticulously bound into a codex."

You can see more images of the work and read more about Gabriella's vision for the piece here.
