Aware that the many visitors we regularly host are opportunities missed, I came upon a splendid solution: to invite ‘guests’ to ‘sign’ a guest book cum artist book, by collaborating on one of its pages. I made paper specific to each ‘guest’ and they created something in response. I sent out 15 leaves of paper to each visitor: when 10 sets were returned, each 'guest' received a set and I designed and produced an artist book with the remaining copies.

​

GuestBook 1998 is the first in this series, with visitors from three continents, with a range of ages, talents, and backgrounds. The text I wrote lists important events that transpired over the year around the world. Looking back, it amazes me how much we forget and need to remember.
