new book project - sevencease

some days when i am working on this or that artist book, and i need to set it aside for one reason or another, i get the urge to do another quick artist book, usually thematically completely different. the game is often to do one of these books in a single day. they are, to me, somewhat like gesture drawings, made quickly, getting to the heart of the matter.

this is one of those books.

it's title is sevencease and it is a loose folio of 7 sea/ocean.emotional state drawings (slightly jm turner inspired) concertina folded separately. there is a close up detail of one of them at the end.

seven 5.5" x 7.5" drawings (unfolding to 7.5" x 22"), oil pastel on fabriano paper with a loose paper folio wrap.
