Books are a wonderful physical venue for art creation. For each project I try to choose a book that has a particular relationship to my theme. Over the years, I’ve created many altered books in response to grief and loss, travel, environment and family.
I created this book to commemorate a visit with good friends in Marin County, Calif. Together we explored Pt Reyes beaches, the tall redwoods in Muir Woods Park, and the rolling countryside hills.
The secrets we keep are hidden here in drawers, behind screens, locked with keys, buried in fleece.
This poem and the chicken bone chair were created after my mother died, as an expression of the impact on our family of growing up, osteoporosis, illness, ageing, death.
Close-up photos of bark and of water, blend in such a way that it’s not always clear which is which. In these pages we find evidence of ways that we make community on the planet, or ways that we sometimes exist in isolation.
