hello there. it is raining here. cold cold cold [i wish it would just snow]. i dressed in 3 shades of gray to compliment the weather....
above is a catalogue i designed for my former teacher [now mentor and friend] katherine sherwood . her work continually blows me away. it was the first time i worked on something that was over 60 pages. it was for her show at the national academy of sciences. you can read more here
you should also read this interview with with aurora robson [my couplets show partner]. she's been working on a GIANT sculpture and you can get a sneak peek in the article. it takes my breath away.... she's using recycled plastic bottles. talk about transformation.
hope you are all having a good weekend. i'm about to enjoy a cooked at the table meal by my husband. sigh.

wow -that books looks beautiful! I love the cover image. Such a fun project and how wonderful to work on a book about someone you admire.
The plastic bottle sculpture looks amazing as well. I bet it's even better in person.
thanks for the inspiration this weekend -it's grey here too. I don't mind though-at least it's not 14 below zero anymore....:)
Sounds like a huge undertaking with an amazing outcome!! I am good friends with a professor/author from university days. Isn't it wonderful to have such a person in your life?
Also, I just got wonderfully sucked into Poppytalk from your post down below ;)
Oh Lisa...I am so glad you posted about Katherine's work--it looks amazing. I hope the catalog is available online somewhere for purchase?
Thank you for linking to Aurora's interview too. So wonderful to hear more about her work and motivation. You are both so lovely...and such an wonderful inspiration. I wish couplets had been a much longer exhibit. Ah well...until Sweden:)
What a beautiful book, fantastic work from two amazing artists. I am constantly amazed by the amount of work you manage to fit in, whether personal or day-to-day. Well done!
be proud of the book, lisa. it looks beautiful! i especially like how you did the cover. boy, that must have been hell of a lot of work to put it all together!
thanks for sharing the links to these amazing artists! so so inspiring to read! thank you!
Ooh, what a visual feast here! The catalogue looks beautiful Lisa...I so love Katherine's work.
Fab interview with Aurora too - the new piece is a-mazing! wow...
I am in grey today too...and in a cooking mood {already done a pancake and berries brunch}. COLD and wet here too...nice fodder for a w/end though.
