Yesterday I went to a neighborhood friend's house. She has an art studio in her basement, and it was lovely to hide from the heat where we sat and caught up with each other and made art. I worked on this sketch:
The hymn underneath my sketch is "Shall We Gather at the River." The hymnbook is With One Voice. I have mixed feelings about using old hymnbooks this way, or any book for that matter. Several schools ago, I had a colleague friend who bought old books at thrift stores and turned them into collages. I was deeply disapproving then.
Now I know that many of those books are destined for landfills. Why not make them into art?
