Joanne Lee 'Synergy series'

Joanne Le

I heavily experimented with the materiality of sumi ink and different surfaces that it can adhere to, but eventually found duralar to hold the most alluring possibilities. I was focused on the push and pull of these two elements together, which had its own energy that needed to be released. Some areas formed naturally, through the way the ink dried or with its reaction with salt, while other areas were purposefully connected with my touch. There was a
 certain sensibility I had with these materials that allowed me to move the forms in and out of themselves.

This show took place in the Gateway Gallery at the Maryland Institute College of Art, from September 20-October 15, 2010.

Create Seed-Starting Pots From Newspapers

Instead of buying expensive peat pots to plant your seeds in, make these spiffy planting pots by rolling recycled newspaper around a glass or jar. The finished pots are sturdy and will break down quickly once they've been planted in the soil.

more book inspiration

And so you want to be a fisherman...
By Susan Jaworski-Stranc
Newbury, Massachusetts: Apple Cider Press, 2000. Edition of 10.

Susan Jaworski-Stranc: "A family crisis was this book's genesis, which took place a few years ago between mother & son. The writing of the poem was a means of working out complex feelings and emotions surrounding a universal parental issue – letting go. The book form is a metaphor for the poem. Through the use of prickly metal edges, sharp hooks, the act of untangling the fish from the netting as well as the unfolding of fish assists the reader to relate to the milestone on an intuitive-cognizant level. This deeply felt experience was made concrete through the book arts to share with others."

Quercus
By Rebecca Goodale
Portland, Maine: Rebecca Goodale, 2009. One-of-a-Kind.

20.5 x 14 x 3" closed; 10.5 x 14 x 96" extended. Silkscreen printed oak leaves attached to a 13 cotton strings, which are in turn attached to the bottom and top of the maroon cloth-covered box in which the work is housed.

The Chestnut Oak (quercus prinus) is listed as endangered in Maine's official List of Endangered and Threatened Plants.

Lift the cotton loop attached to the lid's exterior and watch streams of leaves rise on 13 strings like flags on a ship's halyards. Quite obviously meant for display, the lid can be hung from the cotton loop so that the leaves flutter delicately in the wind. Fully extended this homage to the Chestnut Oak rises to 8 feet.
