ink on found paper
February 4, 2010
As a gift for me, my wonderful wife tracked down a used copy of the book "Paper, The Fifth Wonder" by J.H. Ainsworth specifically for me to use with this project. She found it through ABEBooks and it arrived today, unexpectedly early. The pages have a lovely creamy finish with single-color spot illustrations throughout. I was thrilled to get it and amazed at how eerily appropriate the paper, and the Schopenhauer quote was for this page. A nice bit of synchronicity.
