There were all these long pieces of paper hanging on the studio wall, covered with ink marks, and they weren't talking to each other at all. It seemed each had his own story and wanted the space to tell it. So they are in the process of becoming the scroll books. This is the first. The paper is 10 in x 72 in, with my favourite accordion fold structure. I want to see how they work hung from the wall to the floor.

Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the development of your ink brush paintings; this solution is so absolutely and elegantly fit! You've got a wonderful story there, narrated by ink!
Thanks so much Anna, Thinking of calling them Songs to Spring! Maybe she will hear them, it time.
DeleteLove that simple cover with its off-centre elastic band and the ink brush strip falling from it ... so that was where all this was going - fascinating!
ReplyDeleteThanks Charlton, isn't that electric band great, found them at the MOMA store years ago and tend to hoard them.
DeleteI must search them out here in the UK - I'd have a use for one right now if I could only find them.
DeleteIf you can't find them I am pretty sure you could order them from MOMA, the design store is on line.
DeleteReally awesome!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Sue!
