Each bookmaker was given one folio to design. The concept was 84,000 gates - openings - pores - and paths - meanders - to Enlightenment.
Each artist was asked to continue the cutout. The cutout could change size and shape, and translucency. It was continued in the cover and the title page.

Chrissie has worked with water retention projects and did a paper making course with several of the rotation book #1 members at Haystack in the summer of 2005. I would love to see the final project - here are just a few pages when this project started its rotation in April 2006 . . .





"Remembering Trees" Rotation #1 Book by Catherine Nash 2007

"Remembering Trees" 
Rotation #1 Book

Catherine Nash
2007


This rotation book is from series #1, which took place from April 2006 through June 2007. The "Remembering Trees" pages were houses in a box Catherine made. There are only two entries at this posting, as I was near the beginning of rotation  . . . so I did not see the completed book. I will ask Catherine if she can send me photos of the completed book.
