Gorgeous Book from Cheryl Penn

[DKeys]

It speaks for itself. this book is so delicate, rich, and decidedly feminine. The back page is coated in beeswax giving it a smooth texture. love the thread, gauzy tissue paper, and photography. I really love this cross section of one of her larger pieces and the asemic elements really hit on a subconscious level. I felt pure raw emotion when I opened this. thank you so much Cheryl!

Lesley, that is just one of several possible interpretations of what Cheryl wrote. We have two others. Perhaps Cheryl can state her intention. (I'm kidding, btw)  "Arbor at the foot of acid" - that's a good one - going to use that as a vispo title.

For the first time EVER I can read Cheryl's writing!! She says - "At last a piece of the World is a Town for you. Please send me something" Cheryl's handwriting is ALWAYS a puzzle but i love it! Mind you "a tall peak and sud suet hug" sounds better....

My new credo is: palimpsest novgorod code

It rolls off the tongue. I thought the asemic note said:

"Arbor at the foot of acid is a tail by the PLack south of something"

yes, the coleman cooler doubles as my photo studio and fresh milk container.

my milkman looks exactly like Weird Al

Cheryl's handwriting is naturally asemic. Here's the best translation I could come up with from the note at the top:

"At look! a piece of the kid is a tall peak and sud suet hug." What does that mean?

Coleman, yeah, I'm a big Gary Coleman fan.
