"This is not a trash book" - NBS

"It could be a dash pad because it happened so fast." Nancy claims these were papers, acetate, book pages, etc just thrown together, punched and tied with a string. Nancy Bell, you certainly have the 'knack' for throwing things together. 

Artaeological ruins created this beauty reminiscent of an ancient hand fan, very cool. I love it. …

Stephanie Blake and the Invisible Tower

Okay, the invisible tower is a stretch but bear me out here...Remember when you had huge CD towers poised like monoliths around your stereo? (Remember using the word "stereo?") Well, gradually and not so gradually those towers have been disappearing, fading into the limbo of orphan technologies. And there...is your invisible tower which is what Stephanie has condensed into one piece with multiple purposes: 1) archiving not just the covers themselves 2) but more importantly the experience of…

Carina Granlund asks, "Are You Pretty?"

You better believe it!!!  But so, also, is Carina's amazing artwork sent to me!

Lesley Magwood Fraser Life Studies

This piece is a response from Lesley to a New Yorker article I read and sent to her about figure drawing.  (Lesley is always terrific at working on a theme or quotation that we happen to exchange back and forth--she is a great art conversationalist in that sense!) I suppose this piece of mail art could have been included in my post of recently received Book Form artworks, because it is an accordion-style piece. But it works as a single artwork when opened up as well.  It's hard for…

A Girl from Kloof

Lesley Magwood Fraser and I have a little dialog going about art, what it is, whether we can legitimately call all our creations art. On the days when my meds haven't reached stun I tend to be less sanguine about my own projects. Lesley, on the other hand, is filled with the hopefulness that Kloofians are famous for. To bolster her argument she, like Katerina before her, quotes Warhol to good effect. One thing is clear, Lesley's drawings are chuffworthy. Like most Kloofites she profits from…
