Bald eagles in Ventana
Description
Inspired by the artist's son who was involved in re-introducing bald eagles to the Ventana region of northern California, this book is a personal exploration of the natural history of the area using the artist's own medium of handmade papers. Paper made using local materials are included as specimen pages alongside text describing the plants and rocks that were used in the papermaking. Additional information about the eagles and the re-habitation project is also included. The cover of the book is made from a combination of philodendron and abaca fibers, resulting in a strong, heavily textured, brown and cream colored paper. Front and back flyleaves are made from marbled paper, and marbled paper is also inside the portfolio style wrapper. The book is bound with a five-hole Japanese stab binding. The inside of the portfolio wrapper has the following text, explaining the materials used: "Ventana Hide Covers: The cover paper takes advantage of the different shrinkage rates of fibers. To obtain this particular texture and color contrastk, I used high shrinkage Philodendron (P. selloum) fiber over low shrinkage Abaca (MUSA textilis) fiber. The sheets were formed independently and then pressed together. Book Construction: The cotton and linen thread used in the handsewing was dyed to compliment the color of the Philodendron fiber. The type of format is based on the oriental style of handsewn books. I adapted it to fit my design. The Folder: The paper in this folder is Stonehenge Cream. I made the markings in a freeform pattern to symbolize the free flight of the young Eagles. I used acrylic pigments to make the pattern. the paper is Rives Lightweight Buff.", Signed by the artist
