Additional notes: The conversation about this collaborative began last spring near the east shore of Lake Michigan at Oxbow during the Paper and Book Intensive. Lee Emma Running and Denise Bookwalter were both instructors and participants for the first time. They taught each other, discovered they worked well together and shared a common interest in pattern, texture, and textiles. A long distance conversation continued over the year and culminated in a one-week spring residency at Small Craft Advisory Press, part of the Facility for Arts Research at Florida State University.
The book is made of an engraved birch plywood enclosure with a living hinge lined with rabbit fur. Letterpress printed pages are backed with felt, ripstop nylon, satin, silky solid polyester, and knit hersey. Pages are laser cut with interpretations of each fabric as seen through the lens of a microscope.
