Book 25 Through 35
Book 25 through 35: Each book is 3 x 12 landscape oriented, at
minimum 20 pages in each book, Japanese stitch binding with hand waxed cotton thread
Paper: a wide variety of papers, both artistic and blank,
graph, vintage maps, artist made paper from placing dye into bubble solution
and blowing bubbles onto the page, art from artist’s sketchbooks, original art by
artist, card stock, images of clouds, vellum, envelopes, pages from “The World of
Birds”
Book 25 through 35 is a set of 11 books that have the same dimension
and binding. They are a stack that could reasonably be exhibited in a home or otherwise,
however they do prefer to be written or drawn in. Their long narrow landscape orientation
reminded me of old Tibetan texts. As I was creating these books and stacking them
for 11 days I felt a connection to time in this 11th month of November,
knowing that I have 11 months to complete this project, but I also got lost in time
as I created. Choosing, stacking, cutting
and binding the books became a welcomed rhythm. Looking through Book 25 through
35 can be a joyful meditative practice that may inspire writing or imagery that
speaks to what is most meaningful, with the strong Japanese stitch, Book 25 through
35 is ready to hold all that you have to offer it.
Book 25 through 35 is the first $100. book that I have made.
and then send me, the artist, a message
that you are choosing this Book Set
