A book installation created by both artists will be the centerpiece of the exhibit.

This is the result and long awaited appearance of the  4' x 17' handmade book titled

 "The Voice Within"

The "big paper", made from cotton and marsh grass, was the support for Mira's gorgeous paintings. The book was designed to showcase and compliment Mira Scott's work.

It was set up down the middle of the gallery and Mira Scott's colorful impressions of the low country were framed and exhibited on one wall and my books on another. Smaller books were exhibited on a  custom made table fashioned by Mark S. Tierney, photographer.

"Baker's Dozen" - the building is a slip case for 3 folio's of small etchings on handmade paper.

This was an amazing project to work on  with the help of artist Nancy Mitchel (intern and guardian angel, nurse,sister, friend) and Mark S. Tierney who pulled it all together with Mira Scott who's vision and persistence made it all happen.
