New book: wood nymph

I recently finished wood nymph, my new book on blurb. It's an homage to Mary, my artist friend, muse and mentor. The book consists of a freestyle poem augmented by numerous photos transformed through various mediums: digital composite photographs, alcohol gel transfers on paper, beeswax and mixed media works on Japanese washi paper or wood panels.

This gives you an idea of the book's layout:

Mary posed for a photo shoot with me several years ago. This book is my interpretation, through images and words, of a wood nymph inhabiting a birch tree in the northern boreal forest, evokes struggle, transformation and rebirth through a deep longing for change, tempered by a strong determination to preserve an existing order. Though you cannot see her, the nymph still inhabits those woods, watching over us, smiling with amusement.

The 38-page book is available in 7" x 7" colour softcover and hardcover imagewrap formats.
