With Christiana Wustinger (Austria) and Martin Kubaczek (Japan)

First in a series of paper, Gobelin weaving and poetry collaborative artist books, published in 1994.  These books were dialogues between three different media, each with its unique perspective on the written word.

​

Exhibited here is my five-part accordion book that responded to Wustinger’s accordion tapestry: each of the five covers opens to reveal words from a haiku in German by Martin Kubaczek, watermarked & pulp-painted into the paper.

​

The haiku reads:

Du strickst in Wolle
Ich in wörten; dein Handschuh
Gegen mein Gedicht.

You knit (together) in wool
I in words; your gloves.
Against my poetry.
