The other day I met up with Eleanor and gave her the hand made book in hand with love. She was over joyed and touched by the gesture. Eleanor was in awe by how wonderfully playful and intense Ashley’s piece “Sinister Within the Sweet” is. I hope you guys are having a wonderful summer vacation.

Stay tuned, Steve and I are very excited to soon hold workshops in the stores back room.

Zweistromland / Land of Two Rivers
installation, mixed media, 1985-1989
[…] Throughout his career Kiefer was a maker of books, one-of-a-kind works like medieval manuscripts.
