4 5/16 x 5 7/8 in. (11 x 15 cm)
Feinstein altered a 19th century Victorian album containing mounted specimens of seaweed by adding fragments of erotic black and white photographs. She manipulates the given objects and photographs as collages that provoke voyeuristic associations. A poem on one page, nine pages of images. Unique.

Happy Times, 2015

20 7/16 x 19 5/8 in. (52 x 50 cm)
This unique book arises from the artist’s fascination with the Baroque and with the notion of excess and accompanying ruin. She was drawn to the photographs of the Château de Groussay in France, once owned by the bon vivant and aesthete Carlos de Beistegui. Images of objects and interiors of the château are cut and manipulated by the artist, then collaged onto pages of a found object, a wallpaper sample book juxtaposing the opulence of the interiors with 1960s kitsch.
Wallpaper sheets with collage, rivet bound in red cloth-covered boards, 85 pages. Signed.
