Wk. 3, Book 3: At The Ancestor Altar


This week's book was inspired by my initial reaction to the 2016 election results. I was depressed. Shortly thereafter, I posted on Facebook a "download" received while meditating on the future of America. This week's book is a postscript to that message.

"At the Ancestor Altar" is a 30 3/4" x 3 5/8", 8-panel accordion fold made with poster board, deco papers, beads, and natural fibers. Following is a pic of the first four panels.
I took these pics with my phone camera, so pardon the glare. My professional photographer will retake all pics of books to be included in my upcoming show, "33 Bookz Part II." Here are the last four panels:
I won't tell you what the text says in the book--you'll have to come to the show for that. I'll keep you posted on dates, location, etc.

This bookmaking process was a meditation that forced me to still my mind while my fingers worked and listen. Really listen. Are you listening?

America is on the precipice of something utterly extraordinary . . .
