| Sowing Seeds;
Dr. Laurie Jo Wright, London, UK, February, 2013 An artist previously, I have taken a 20 year break from artwork to follow a career as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. Returning to art I have become interested in the making of book art and enrolled in a course last year to learn various techniques. Although having completed a few books, Sowing Seeds is my first to be shown publicly. The al-Mutanabbi Street Project has not only touched me emotionally, it has served as part of my own personal renaissance: it is my impression that books serve as threads in life, both for in cultures and individuals.
