Rumi Tops is a movable Artists' Book which takes the form of Whirling Dervishes. It has a front and a back page that is complete only once the wooden toy (conical hat of the Dervish) is fitted to the centre of the page. The front page enlightens readers about the poet, the dervishes, their attire and fluent movements that seek a mystical union. The back page is laced with timeless quotes of Rumi and appears like a flowing white robe when spun in motion. -- taken from the artists' website 2022.
