 Lynn Sures USA The Blues |
| Lynn Sures made the paper
for this bookmark from Washington-DC-worn blue jeans, an item of American
work apparel since the 1800s, pretty far back for Americans. The paper,
abstracted images and the ink colour choices are referential to the blues,
which is her favourite musical form and an American original for more than
a century. This is a political moment when many patriotic Americans cannot
reconcile the aggressive and self-serving policies of their government with
the characteristic open, can-do, creative, curious, thinking, diverse, adventuresome
and welcoming spirit of most of the people who populate the nation. So it
is a moment to reflect on the enduring things that countries can share with
each other. Lynn has a studio near Washington DC, where she makes sculpture, artists' books, paintings and prints using her handmade paper. Her website carries information about her work, exhibitions, workshops, and contact information. website : www.LynnSures.com back |
