I most enjoy
creating very large drawings or relatively small drawings;
both extremes in size offer a similar
intimacy that may engulf and reward the
patient viewer.
Presented here are two editions of five
small text-based drawings that one may
hold with two hands, You and Me.
Hopefully, these drawings will never be
displayed as framed but savored over
time with each subsequent encounter.
The hand cut-out of the letter
Y notes that the
following images are from the edition of YOU.
The 150 gsm Canson hand made portfolio is
secured closed with black and red ribbon.
Lifting the first cover of the 150 gsm, Canson
hand made paper portfolio for opening.
The second cover is lifted open.
One of the five text-based drawings exposed.
The paper portfolio closed with the ribbons
untied.
Gently using the loose ribbons, the portfolio is
lifted out.
The secret Alpaca/wool-covered panel is exposed,
revealing a pull tab.
With a firm tug and then a gentle pull upwards,
the Alpaca/wool-covered panel is open.
Revealing a secret space for personal letters,
notes, or cards. Note possibly hurtful screws
protruding through the secret space floor.
The opposite side of the Alpaca/wool-covered
panel exposes the following inscribed in brown
ink; LOVE HURTS.
The serial number of each box is stamped on the
three loose objects that make up the box. Here
it is stamped into the lower left-hand corner of
the paper side of the Alpaca/wool-covered panel.
Here the serial
number is on the inside of the box top.
