Let’s Play Pool

This unique work is dedicated to the amusing and historic game of pool. The geometry of the game is reflected in this piece which is encased in an equilateral black triangular shaped, candy style box which resembles a billiards rack. The box is topped with a vintage mini 8-ball billiard and contains 9 two-inch base mini-books each colored like the billiard balls. Each of these mini equilateral triangle accordion books describes the unique history and interesting facts of the game of pool, and can be read turning the pages and rotating through its three sides. The mini books are kept closed by magnets hidden in their covers. The inside of the box is lined with English green felt which traditionally covers pool tables.
