Crowning glory : the book of paper-bag hats / by Moses.

by Moses, artist.

[S.l.] : Mixbook.com, c2011.

1 v. (unpaged) : chiefly ill. ; 28 x 37 cm.

"Moses created more than 250 hats from paper bags contributed by merchants in his Hawaiian neighborhood. Made in a project room of the local library during the 1980s, the hats are imaginative, amusing and timeless sculpture. They run the gamut from traditional — top hat, Civil War cap and the '50s-style Anthurium— to fantastic — the ornately folded and pleated Gothic Knight and a series of caps crowned with seemingly suspended bamboo forms. Fashioned from the most ordinary material, these hats are whimsical, yet sophisticated; subtle, yet exuberant; delightful to behold and a pleasure to contemplate. These exquisite paper sculptures were featured in the July, 2000, issue of the Smithsonian Magazine, and are now part of the permanent collection of the Mingei International Museum, in San Diego, CA."--Mingei International Museum website.
