While doing research at DUT on the
history of books and papermaking, Tony Starkey and I reopened the paper making
study which had been in mothballs since The Great Move. Making paper was a wondrous experience - I was then in control of the whole book
making process. I inherited a student at this time who was also working with paper
processes. I think she is now a window
dresser for some famous shop in London, but I bought this small book at her final exhibition. Its an old photograph album filled with
unusual ephemera instead of photographs. It speaks of miserable memories, and
incidents best forgotten, but now embedded in handmade paper. We are all mind
and handmade people - good imprints are all that should be left behind, but
these impressions are not.
