Servane Briand Palo Alto, California
paper, pastel, crayons, watercolor, beeswax, linen thread 4⅞ x 5 x ½ closed; 4⅞ x 19¼ x 9¾ open © 2011 $300 I am interested in time and traces that we leave behind. I was using long pieces of paper left out from my son’s origami projects to explore surfaces that are worn down and used by many repetitive actions. I fell in love with the layers of colors and details that came forth and decided to assemble them together. This created a book that engages the viewer in a playful yet meditative process. The secret Belgian binding designed by Carmencho Arregui is a perfect sturdy and flexible structure for this book that acts as a daily companion and a reminder of the passing of time. |
