seawrack, a book

a small artist book i finished today using some paper i had dipped in the indigo dye which warped quite beautifully and was very evocative of the ocean.

not that i have much of a relationship with the ocean. those i prefer are the tortured coasts of maine and brittany and the like. rough seas, storms and salt

i paired the pages with some simple wood slats and hemp cord and some beads i had (glass, bone and ceramic)

japanese/inuit/eskimo culture, expressions and symbols of elements at work
