A Bittersweet End

by Laura&Tina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Four years ago Laura and I began sending artwork to one another through the United States Postal Service.  These were in the form of a simple postcard and served as a tactile way to communicate what we were doing in our studios. Two years ago we began a book exchange to consolidate many of the… Read More

by Laura&Tina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Book Exchange/backtracking

by Laura&Tina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Dear Tina~ After seeing the next page of our book I realized I only gave you and our friends a “tease” of my last page of our book so I thought I would share some of my thoughts with you. Tina, on your last page you left me with a map, a moon and the… Read More

Collaborative Book Project

by lauratwotina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Were  you on the edge of your seats? I always am whenever I get the book in the mail from Tina. It usually takes me a few days (sometimes longer) to figure out how to respond visually to her image. I was thinking about the two of us together in our journey as artists, friends… Read More

Hello my friend! I am FINALLY responding to our book which has been sadly sitting in my studio waiting for some attention.

Collaborative Book Project

by lauratwotina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Well, our book made it to my studio after a little delay at the post office. Somehow the book got sassy on us and “required a signature” to have it picked up. It ended up being MIA for awhile so you can imagine my “EXCITEMENT” to know it wasn’t lost in the mail. I am… Read More

Collaborative Book Project (Laura)

by lauratwotina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Tina, Here is a little, bitty peak of my new book page. You had left me with the word “begin” along with a simple black and white leaf to embellish and add to. See our previous post HERE. I have been pondering this thought. Where do we begin? I guess you will have to wait… Read More

Tina~ Here is the book with your full image posted. Girl, you really make me want to get busy experimenting with transfers! This piece has such a unique feeling that you just can’t get with a photograph alone. It is worth the time and effort you take to create it. We have grasses here in… Read More

Laura, I have sent out the collaborative book in the mail a few days ago.  The picture posted below is just a hint of what I created.  I wanted it to be a surprise when you opened the box.  I created a photo transfer for this piece.  I scanned in the beach grass (seeds in… Read More

Collaborative Book Project-Laura's Turn

by lauratwotina, in category Collaborative Book Project

Dear Tina- While working on the book I felt the hopeful wishes you have for your children. You are always ever present in their worlds and reflecting, which reminds me of the playfulness in life. A lot can be learned from allowing your imagination to win over your fears. Your boys imaginative game with the… Read More

Collaboration

by lauratwotina, in category Collaborative Book Project, Working Table

I received our collaborative book today and feel that our visual conversation is really exciting.  How two different artists can speak to each other through art materials is not only genuine to who we are as individual artists, but also genuine to the larger community we are speaking to.  The more global everyone’s lives become… Read More

About the journey…

by lauratwotina, in category Collaborative Book Project

I loved what you wrote in the last entry of our book. Yes, you are right in noting how the birds have maintained a subconcious presence in our imagery for the last few exchanges. I agree, they are a great metaphor for the improvisation of a journey. My mind wistfully drifts to past expeditions, allowing… Read More
