CD20. The Spirit Book
Susan's Spirit Books are a series of 50 artist books of handmade papers nested in natural materials – such as twigs, driftwood, or a branch. They connect Susan's experience of the inherent spirituality and mystery of
nature with the longstanding tradition of books as
testaments of faith and belief."Reading" the books
is meant to be a contemplative experience that takes
the reader out of the everyday world and into a state
of gratitude and reverence. The CD-ROM contains a
slide show of 35 of the Spirit Books, powerpoint
presentations on the development of the series and
Susan's earlier work,writings about the Spirit
Books, resources, and a Book of the Spirit workshop
– for creating your own spirit books.
