ART HOUSE CO-OP

I just finished my  sketchbook for the ART HOUSE Project. Thousands of books will be exhibited in galleries and museums around the country. I received a theme entitled: BOYS AND GIRLS.
We were all given the same sketchbook. I asked Felip Costaglioli to write me a short poem. I tore out the thin papers and added 2 pages of Rives BFK, a 100% cotton paper which I like for mixed media work.  The digital type, is Century Schoolbook. I added ink and graphite to completed the work.

TEXT by Felip Costaglioli

The Book 

Smugglers’ Song

We are Book swallowers

we 

Hopscotched 

in the fields

With blue pages flickering

                                in our pants

and our shoes

  long ago

           Have been torn 

                 by the bushes

No frontier!

       we are no longer

                            afraid

We read

we

are

Levitating.
