This pop up artist book was created from one of my relief prints entitled, Forest Bedroom. It is a small book with a book cloth cover and a handmade bird bead clasp. The image inside the book illustrates the dichotomy between fear and longing. Many of us have faced this dichotomy whether we are young and afraid of the dark but want to hear mysterious stories or older and looking to the future with uncertainty and hope. The poem written by the artist reads: Sleep my beloved-under the warmth of my love. Above the noise of the earth. Within the understanding of all who came before you.
