Exquisite book-form from Nancy Bell Scott

[Claire (aka Cleo)]

Nancy's work was some of the first I noticed when I joined iuoma. As I said to her long ago, something about her particular creative voice has a rather untoward sonority for me... Color often speaks to me more eloquently than any other element of the visual, and her mastery...

it simply takes my breath away..... Her work speaks much more than colour to me of course. There is magic in her textural sensibility to myriad materials, the movement of shapes, the detailed consideration of every element of each composition - it's uncanny the way it moves & touches me. The depth...That's all I can say: The Depth. It goes straight to my heart, (everything shivery...)  - I simply

swoon!

Simply: stunning. So very, very luscious - the sensuality, her touch so distinct & rich...

I truly thank you from my depths for this Nancy - I do I do I do!!!

(PLEASE NOTE: I think I made some mistakes in the scanning order, but it's packed away now so corrections will have to wait a few months till I'm unpacked...)

Nancy has a unique way with materials where the materials congeal into a strong signature of NBS style. Painterly and poetic on the corner of trashpo. Nice piece. So good to see you back Nancy Bell. Thanks for the post Claire.

How beautiful, and a beautiful blog, too!

Nancy's art is so deep...wonderful textures and rich colors.

We can only "imagine" how fantastic this is to hold...the downside of

email art:  no feel, no aroma, no sounds of the papers, pages, elements...

May "mail art" in-the-snail-mail continue :-)
