Blue Days Blue Nights

Among my newest creations is an artist’s book I call “Blue Days, Blue Nights,” which was conceived of for Del Ray Artisan’s “Blue” exhibit. I’ll let the photos, and the accompanying Artist Statement, speak for the work…

For too many, the common thread through their days and their nights is the blueness of it all, the dark blueness of the blues in what haunts our nights and shadows our days, often borne of traumas early in life. A house that feels broken, secrets under a bed already full of nightmares, a feeling like an absence of self, dark lurking figures, clouds with mixed messages. And, the wisdom of a watching raven. The construction of a simple board book, held together with hand-tied knots, supports the conjuring of childhood memories.
