These elegies are printed one side only on rice paper, each transparent page revealing the layers of text beneath. We think of the fragile nature of the earth's ecosystems, of the need to take care. The printing process was punishing to these delicate papers, marring some of them with silvery scars, further adding to the theme. The chapbooks are hand-stitched, with end papers of translucent indigo, for the ocean. |
