Tube City

Instigation for making tubes into books sprang from work by Michael Basinski on exhibit at 23 Sandy Gallery in Portland Oregon.  (This is a wonderful gallery to visit on line.)

Pam Wright dubbed this session TUBE CITY which turned out to be apt since the cylinder promoted architectural thinking.  Many of us found this approach freeing and exhilarating.

Evening

The theme was evening, though themes are never binding.  Our structural form was a simple four panel accordion.  Some of us played with ways to extend content across the panels instead of considering them as separate pages.  But mostly we all just submitted in delight to the beauty of the new papers on hand from Nepal that suggested the fading colors at dusk and the brilliance of late autumn sunsets.
