Has it been over a year since I posted here? I can’t believe it! I restart this blog stream with some happy \u2014 if rather tardy &mdash news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incantation<\/em> is a book of imaginary magic incantations, an ode to the power of letters, words, and books. What a miracle it is that we can put down marks on paper that will connect with readers across continents and centuries! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This book began as a melding of expressive mark-making and experimentation with layout. I was inspired by the amazingly varied and intricate layouts in ancient books with maps, charts, and commentary. Here I strove to invoke that sense of reaching for meaning as I try to make sense of marks I don’t understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
