Part of an edition of 5000 created for the annual Peter Norton Family Christmas Project. Edition of 3000 copies "Made by Intervisual Communications, Inc." "Part of the Peter Norton Family Christmas Project " Untitled (Peep Show) opens to reveal a scene inside the bellows of a deep mossy well inhabited by siren-like figures gesturing toward a floating body that appears to be beyond their grasp. When the piece is flipped over, a hole in the back reveals the floating body. The photographs for this project were taken by Gaskell at the Netherworld Well on the grounds of Villa Regaleira in Sintra, Portugal, built in the late 19th century. The design of the well and the surrounding gardens are based on Dante's Inferno."." Accordion format, with a "peep hole" to the scene of a deep well and floating body.
