Muse: A Book of Curiosities is a limited edition artist book—designed, printed, and hand-bound by Todd Bradley in an edition of five. Inspired by the Renaissance Cabinet of Curiosities, this intimate volume functions as a miniature museum, drawing readers into a curated archive of photographic wonder.

Structured in three poetic sections—Nature, Goddesses and Gods, and the Bizarre and Abstract—the book invites contemplative movement through organic forms, mythic archetypes, and conceptual enigmas. Each image acts as a relic, echoing the aesthetics of early museum displays and the classification systems of artists like Hiroshi Sugimoto and Charles Willson Peale.

Influenced by the writings of Paula Findlen, Susan Stewart, and Stephen Greenblatt, Muse is a meditation on memory, preservation, and the poetics of looking. It is both a personal archive and an object of wonder—where meaning arises, flickers, and dissolves.

Printed in a highly limited edition of 5 plus one artist proof., each copy is uniquely handcrafted—offering collectors an experience that is both tactile and timeless.
