Handspun
Umsinsi Press, Artists Book, 210mm x 297mm, dated 31 December 1998, Malvern,
46 pages & art illustrations. BUT I
have a hand made, signed copy with covers, binding, notes and colours by Liz Vels. Dedication - For Cheryl who makes books with
love and thanks, Liz.
I met Liz while doing research on
South African artists books. She
welcomed me to her home and I saw so many treasures that day I cannot begin to
describe. She was absolutely free with
her knowledge and generous with her gift.
A poem from the book:
Did you speak with your hands
flatten deserts in the wind
wave mountains
voice birds in the sling of Your
arm
whisper trees through bent fingers?
Was Adam mouthed in locked embrace
to keep us face to face?
