Marie Wintzer and I have collaborated
before (and continue to) in a series titled Books
of Ether.
Marie posted me the
photographs which she had printed mid-March, and although this project is part
of the digital realm, I have also made them into an artifact - I cant touch,
page through, remember as well, when scrolling down a glass screen. Together we published various photos on our
blogs, but the e-book was published by Marie on 22 January 2015 on scribd - see
Forewords:
Made of Clay.
Taken from the dust
of the earth, these books became something else, data images that happened in
Ether Realms. It’s always trying to breathe new life into old ideas -
like us, they’re never quite ready to die.

Making books out of
clay,
the work of a
potter [shaping soil into pages]
the work of a
writer [chiseling words out of sodden earth]
the work of a
gardener [growing roots across fields]
the work of an
architect [building stories through dust]
the work of a
musician [composing songs engraved in ether]
The beauty of those
clay books needed no enhancement, their stunning naked aura was evident to any
eyes curious enough to see. But one can always demand more of books…
Marie Wintzer.
