Description
-
The outer case of the book is made of black cardboard embossed with plant matter. The book cover for the inner book contains a latch attached to a painted gold filigree leaf. A poem inscribed on the leaf - 'She is somewhere in the sunlight/her tears are in the falling rain/she calls me in the windswept song/ and with the flower she comes again.'
The book opens in sections with a pressed flower tied by a brass leaf. The other side shows a complex design which is integrated within the paper itself. The drawings and text written by the children are rendered on large pressed leaves.
On other pages the artwork and text surround the pictorial leaf theme so the reader must follow the movement of the writing around the pictorial imagery. On the last page appears a statement about the paper making process. The handmade paper is sheets made from abaca, a banana tree from the Philippines, cotton fiber and Pacific Northwest hard woods. The edges of the sheets dipped in colored liquid during the paper-making process. The end of the volume folds out with a catalog of the drawings and poems; the work Terezin is inlaid in metal on the final portion of the volume.
This volume was completed in August 1994.
