Scroll Books

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.

Took 2 of the lovely sheets and glued them together, then the fun started. Hoping my socks were clean, I walked over the paper to make the marks. Found that the plastic underneath altered the way the ink lay on the paper and although I had expected the seam between the 2 sheets to show this was unexpected.
