Morning Thief
12 x 9.25 inches 2009 Medium: Inkjet on Japanese Gifu washi paper Binding: Crisscross Binding (formerly called Secret Belgium Binding) on basswood slats Edition: 5 The images capture 30 seconds of the sun stealing the dreams of a slumbering man. His attempt to hide himself from the sun only makes him dance. The images were derived from a short video and reformatted as diffused stills. The images were used initially in an earlier book entitled Morning (2006). |

The mysterious sewing of the Crisscross Binding was "rediscovered" by Hedi Kyle. It was originally created by Anne Goy in 1986 while looking for a solution to keep the Japanese binding sewing pattern on a book that could be fully opened. Here, linen thread is sewn over basswood slats mounted on Japanese cobweb paper. The space between the slats lets the light shine through. |
