{A digital proof to serve as a colour guide.}
This evening I have a small preview of a new work to share. I have a new print in the works, and here you can see a colour proof being made. This work is especially for my part of the project Of Birds and Fishes. It is called From this bed, with the wings of a bird, I flew to the sea as I slept last night. In this collage, you might just be able to make out part of a theatre set by the painter Paul Nash. The set was created for a one-act play, The Truth About the Russian Dancers, written especially for Tamara Karsavina by J.M Barrie. The play was first performed in 1920 at the London Colosseum. At the Savoy some six years later the play was revived, and now it forms the backdrop to my dreams.
A more detailed look at this work I will show you soon. Thus far, it is yet to be printed.
{Next step, the plates and a proof off the press. And then we can print to heart's merriment. Hooray! Until then, we wait.}
(Thanks for all your help with this work, Louise.)
