Now that The Sheltering Book and The Big Beach Book are no more, except for fragments, in photos, and in memory, I wanted to look at the one structure/two projects piece in greater depth, and see the different ways the large book co-created in community was used.

Studio at 18th Street Arts Center…in process.
Older work…still under scrutiny.

This makes it easy to continue to peruse this work.
Earlier work: handmade books, artists’ books, sculptures.
Supplies, materials, material, samples, readymades, and student clay works, next to, and below.

18(1): Working at 18th Street Arts Center
I became a local artist in residence at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica the third week in September, 2018. My posts, while a chronicle of sorts of the experience, won’t necessarily , nor summarily, begin at the beginning.
Works in various states of completion.
Love lots of Light. Let There Be Light in the studio.
A work begun during my studio residency at the Art Lab at 1450 Ocean (in Santa Monica)
Like a book, or any work, this is a process. The beginning, can be seen from many viewpoints.
Canvas, hemp cord, found cord, book board, watercolor paper.
Like life, work ifs filled with loose ends.
Spine
Sometimes these can be beautiful.
Page turner
We turn the page.
Moving through, loose ends, unraveling, stitching, keeping it together.
Something new emerges. just that slightly different then the before.
Moving on.
