I love this new app, allowing the creation/publication of "storybooks"- in this case a presentation of some of my paper creasing-pleating examples.<br />
What do you think?<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: 11px;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #660000; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Yes, sometimes books end up infested by insects...</span></span></h3>
</div>
<span style="background-color: #f0f0eb; color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11px;">There are several types of insects that damage collection materials including books. The most common pests are roaches, silverfish, and various types of beetles. These insects eat the protein and starch components in books and other materials, and the feces of these and other types of insects can disfigure collection materials. Protective enclosures can lessen the chance of insect damage. The most important safeguard against insect damage is good housekeeping...</span><br />

For the last year os so, I have been getting carried away into frequent sessions of creature making! It happens suddenly, out of the blue and always in the context of story telling subconsciously narrated to Everett and Alice, my grandkids!<br />
And so my stories are told through my very own preferred method: using imagery instead of words, and objects (creatures) formed by folding/cutting/manipulating discarded books and combining them with monotypes, photograph transfer works, collages... The works presented here are a few "excerpts" of these stories.</div>

When nostalgia for my fashion days becomes stubbornly persistent, I have to act!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are views of a gown I modeled on a miniature stand! Handmade paper, (instead of fabric...), free hand drawn monotype (in lieu of patterned surface), origami folds (instead of drape)! </div>

To complete the "mood": a rug! Orizomegami on fine asian paper, its design achieved by dipping the folded paper on various tone inks.</div>

A weekend workshop got me hooked! The teaching and demonstration of the craft resulted in a number of very straight forward examples, and the vertical growth of my enchantment with the craft!<br />
The results of my embryonic steps are in these photographs. Too bad I cannot share the feel and the variety of crackling each paper does when handled, directly depending of the pulp source used in its making.<br />

I am often asked what triggers the urge to start a new artwork, how the inspiration presents itself, where my imagery comes from... These are all great questions and their answers give the viewer a clear path to understanding the way thought, psyche, determination, lack of fear to be judged, and absolute indifference to surroundings, contribute towards the artist's realization and execution process.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgydOSKfR58GCSc657Uufm_vq8_atl8OpJFrcT6KX8R81W6HOsrIBqL5PscxUSOQNr531t33EzMc_Lu7KU-REPNlvY0JRFfr93gksyYsbyIu6qCLWqKdLBN0KRmU0V5a6ap-9Oq2WaJ7Tw/s1600/bloomBookS.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgydOSKfR58GCSc657Uufm_vq8_atl8OpJFrcT6KX8R81W6HOsrIBqL5PscxUSOQNr531t33EzMc_Lu7KU-REPNlvY0JRFfr93gksyYsbyIu6qCLWqKdLBN0KRmU0V5a6ap-9Oq2WaJ7Tw/s320/bloomBookS.jpg" width="320" /></a>My favourite medium is "monotype", a printmaking process where the artwork is created on a matrix, subsequently transferred onto the paper through the pressure of an etching press resulting in the creation of a unique print. I then combine collage, embroidery, pleating, and other folding manipulation techniques acquired by my work in the textile/fashion designing field, treating paper as textile, using its drape, grain qualities and limitations to add volume, thus transforming a 2 dimensional surface into a three dimensional art-object.<br />

My narrative is based on family issues that trouble and define me. 20th century's wars and political crimes marked my grandparents' and parents paths, wounding their souls, influencing their life choices, eventually passing their pain and search for "home" to my generation. In my continuous quest to understand the past in order to realistically shape my identity, I often use family members' photographs, letters and notes from their journals, reconnecting to their histories through my art.<br />
<br />
And so I submitted my work "she could hear the piano playing" to Monotype Guild of New England 4th National Monotype Juried Exhibition believing in its visual impact and also its showcasing a variety of techniques associated with the medium. This work was achieved by incorporating monotypes, ghost impressions, trace monotypes,
archival pigmented inkjet print, on a multitude of surfaces. The photograph of the girl is my aunt Marika who lived a life brightly colored at its beginning, rapidly shading into gray and into total black the last three decades of her life. Last time I saw her, the only color left was the brilliant blue of her eyes.<br />
<br />
I am thrilled for this award, for giving me the opportunity not only to celebrate, but also to revisit the steps, the purpose, the hours dedicated in the pursuit of art making. Reading juror's Andrew Stevens thoughts on his selection process, provided me with new insight to the extensive history and promise of printmaking, and opened new horizons into the scope of my art practice.<br />

<span style="color: #660000;"><i>“Of all the print processes, [monotype] is the most spontaneous and simple. Its ability to capture a deft stroke of the artist’s hand gives it great appeal to the skilled sketcher, while its simplicity makes it an ideal platform for the sorts of experiments that have intrigued American artists.” </i></span></div>

Images of works in progress, of works near completion, of works on that very last stage: in wait to be signed. </div>
But that's not all; there are also images of surfaces being cleaned at the end of a printmaking session!<br />
I find beauty in all stages of my art practice, even on the discarded newsprint used to protect the etching press felts...<br />
<br />
Yes, I love what I do!<br />

This is my new studio, a dream space to create work and show work!<br />
<br />
above: my flat file cabinet; a piece of furniture I desired for years, now all mine, given to me as a gift from a very dear friend.<br />
<br />
in the open drawer: new works.<br />
<br />
left: my favourite spot to take a break, to seat with a cup of coffee (most of the time I work standing up), to rethink a new direction, to daydream...<br />
<br />
below: overcast early morning, worktable still tidy but ready to become a working arty mess!<br />

These are examples of my ways to get high! Yes, working with paper does that to me, especially the process of transforming everyday "things" into something else.<br />
The process requires patience, focus, going out on a limb, inks, an etching press, time in the printmaking studio, persistence, forgetting everything else, and then a repeat of all of the above over and over again...<br />
So what if these works cause the discomfort in the joints of my hands? I believe it is a well worth price for me to pay!<br />

Lavender from my garden, a vintage book folded, a flower made from reclaimed old book pages, heart shaped stones found on a beach during summers while visiting my homeland, Greece.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mother's presence is always felt, especially in places I wish she had seen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my thoughts and heart she is always there, and in this shadow box her face at a young age appears as a reminder of her love for me.</div>

As a Book Arts practitioner as well as a person who loves all kinds of books, I am observing this World Book Day by sharing one of my "keepsakes" series composition, expressing my love not only for book content, but also for book form and all its derivatives...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Happy World Book Day!</div>
