My art is about paying attention. It is about the observation of one's immediate surroundings, the seeing that occurs within the self, and the places these two intersect. It is about holding on to a sense of wonder in the world and staying present long enough to hear the message or see the messenger. It is how we pay attention that determines what will be revealed to us about our own lives or the lives of others. This artist book was created during a residency at Bascom Lodge on Mount Greylock in Massachusetts. The book can be viewed from both front and back, offering two distinct vantage points from the mountain top. I was a bookbinding teaching assistant for Hedi Kyle while I was in graduate school at The University of the Arts. Hedi was a mentor to me and has had a profound influence on my career in the book arts.
