two books

work for the exhibition:

bloodroot and violet

shifu, slot and tab, natural dyes

a page spread

spine

the poem does not want to live inside this book

so it's printed separately.
a small, cube of a book

~and~

Indigo Patterns

shifu with slippery elm bark

stationers binding, sewn on tapes, tacketed

vintage pattern paper, indigo dyed
a nice reading in bed sized book
posted first to oz, then to japan.

i've been much in the kitchen

and the yard

paper drying on window,

screen behind

and from the freezer

last springs color

the bundle looked hopeless

but was a surprise

surprise
