It's always hard to talk about your work and why you do it; and for me it changes over time. But for now; this is what I have...
Books, paper, words,
language and marks are my constants. I love the magic and beauty that words can
create and the way these messages can be shared. The idea of language matters almost as much – that words
were written, have been obscured or hidden, or are written in such a way that they
can’t be fully understood. The notion of books excites me - the treasures that
lie within and the joy of holding a book in my hands.
I work slowly, often
meditatively. It takes time to
prepare, cut and fold paper for a book; to measure, mark and draw lines for
writing. I enjoy the peacefulness
of sitting quietly as I do these tasks, or as I burn letters from pages, wrap
pebbles or simply stitch. My work is quiet.
