Books of Ether - Untitled as yet Marie Wintzer/Cheryl Penn

Somewhere we decided that this book would be made of altered images JUST of the clay books I have made.  I had great expectations/future for all these small works, which unfortunately did not eventually amount to anything as boredom set in - doing things TWICE sometimes sets that monster in motion, so 40 of these small books just, well…. Marie has managed to revive them and they now exist as something else - an unexpected twist in their path.

Collaborative Vispo and Asemic Writing - Marie Wintzer/Cheryl Penn (Part 1)

Its ALWAYS good to work together - evidence follows :-)!  This will become part of The Books of Ether series published on Scribd - here's a sneak pre-view. Marie has a touch that is foreign - and familiar to me - this is the essence of true, successful collaboration - no voice is louder than the other, no one style takes dominance - the work just sings together in poetic harmony.  I had made a series of clay books (the plan was big but boredom set in). They languished in a box gathering dust.  Then, Marie stepped into the images - and … they are new, fresh - she created work that would NEVER have existed otherwise.
