Stains. PC (tictac) (Germany)/Cheryl Penn (South Africa)

STAINS (documented Book 37).
1 of 2 unique books dated November 2011. 
Colophon:  Cheryl Penn:  Mixed media on 200grm Fabriano paper, including thinners prints, text, photographs, painting.  Mediums include ink, oil paint, shellac, thread.
Ptrzia (tictac):  Mixed media on 200 grm Fabriano paper, including inkjet transfer prints, metal, plastic film, packing paper, text.  Mediums include ink, acrylic paint, enamel, pencil.

I was SO pleased when TICTAC – a conceptual artist in Germany agreed to collaborate on a book with me. I sent her two books, each hand done. I left a spread in between each of my pages and tictac completed them.  She also completed the book, adding the colophon and designing the 'look' of the book. The Perspex binding was her idea – with a little help from a Plexi-Man.  Hence, the book has a beautiful perspex cover and spine.   It’s a while since I took this book out, but its still a thing of beauty.
