It is not a secret that I like making art with recycled materials, especially paper - newspaper, brown paper and tea bags especially. The Winter Book is a project that started when I made the cover a few years ago - flowers past their prime , made of torn newspaper and tea bags. I really enjoyed the approach - in a workshop we were given a piece of newspaper and were told to create something 3D out of it. I liked the spontaneity of this exercise and the "imperfect" results which seemed to have a beauty all of their own. And then, after deciding to make a Winter book , I lost interest in the concept after a few pages .... it sat in the unfinished pile for a long time, but I still liked the cover and the few pages I'd started. Every now and then, I added something to the book. Last week, I filled in two last remaining pages and here it is....
"Winter plays a tune of isolation and darkness,
and curls up inside you only to challenge you
to warm with generosity,
to walk with light,
to dance with sunshine and
to laugh at the cold."
