Artists StatementMy inspiration for this series of books comes from the acid soil, the schist black&ocre iron oxide rocks and the vegetation that thrives in the dry blistering heat of the summer sun here in the Cevennes region of France. Creating paper and books from trees which where in passed times relied upon for food and for warmth, brings me in touch with the natural and cultural landscape of this special place.These trees carry their history and legend in their gnarled , whithering aged trunks,and in the unconcious collective memory of the Cevennoles, and I hope in my work.
