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.
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.

Handmade book project

| Initial explorations on a handmade book |
After much research and material sourcing, I have started on a handmade bookmaking project. It will editioned book (possibly 2-3 copies). The working title is Artist and Hamadryad, an original poem on transformation revolving around a wood nymph who inhabits a birch tree and an artist-muse.
The poem will be layed out, then printed on Japanese unryu washi paper, accompanied with photos. The pages will then be infused with wax, becoming translucent, then the photos will be enhanced with oil stick pigments and embedded natural items such as leaves and metal flakes.
I will also create a series of "loup" masks with various waxed washi papers over a plaster face cast of a friend.
