WHAT WAS ANY ART BUT AN EFFORT TO
MAKE A SHEATH , A MOULD IN WHICH TO IMPRISON FOR
A MOMENT THE SHINING ELUSIVE ELEMENT WHICH IS LIFE
ITSELF,- LIFE HURRYING PAST US AND RUNNING AWAY,
TOO STRONG TO STOP, TOO SWEET TO LOSE
W i l l a C a t h e r
Each day I go for an invigorating
walk, returning to my studio to use the fresh materials
I have gathered along the way, layering them with
fragments of color and texture- beautiful papers,
silks, linens .... along with small treasures to create
poetic still life. These reflect the spirit of a given
moment in my studio. I am drawn to capturing the fast
flow of life and documenting the passage of time.
My blank books are created for my own aesthetic pleasure,
and as an invitation and inspiration to you to transform
your own fleeting life into lasting keepsakes. My
most recent work combines my love of working with
my hands [ and my deep connection with the natural
world ] with technology- using my scanner and printer
to create art fresh from the Vermont fields and woods!
These images are printed on museum quality paper and
beautifully framed , as well as used in my graphic
design work. They are what make the design of my book
covers distinctive. WRITERS , ARTISTS and POETS are
especially welcome to imagine a custom order. I love
the opportunity to collaborate and create an absolutely
unique book or image . Do you know someone you would
like to surprise with a bound book of their photographs
? poetry? writing? For the Studio Tour only I make
a variety of affordable gift items using exquisite
decorated papers : frames, ornaments, address books,
note cards, paper boxes, and more...... Please come
visit my studio and see. .I am blessed to be doing
work that I love with the support of those of you
who purchase my work.
