Invisible Distance
2012
The book is in praise of artists. Those who start in a cloud of unknowing have faith that there is a horizon to reach for- and go forward to meet it. The translucent materials, increasing use of color as the pages are turned, the Japanese binding as well as the symbolic glove allude to this optimism and fragility.
And the coldest season comes yet again.
This particular winter of 2012, milder than
usual, but equally long. Spring beckons on
the horizon.The papers are drafting vellum,
