SHUT UP NO YOU SHUT UP

Work-in-Progress: MONSTRA

 Working this week on a new altered book project called MONSTRA.  The title is a made-up word, and the images are mostly cut & paste collage on spray-painted pages, riffing on the abstract shape of a woman's torso.  Here are some quick camera shots of a couple pages:

Well, 2021 Is Over...

(images from recently-completed book of altered photographs called "Ghosts and Shadows")

 

Everything is More Beautiful Because We're Doomed

Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful

because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier

than you are now. We will never be here again.

--Homer, The Iliad

Silence

 Here are the covers and a few interior pages of my most recently-completed artist's book, "SILENCE."  16"h x 13.5"w, 32 pages.  Materials include commercially-produced deckle-edged paper, translucent Unryu mulberry paper (covers), and inkjet-printed tissue paper with collaged book scraps for the interior. Figuring out how to print on tissue paper and adhere it into a book was...interesting!

This book is about silence -- where we find it and what it means.
