Hari, New Altered Book Art For Upcoming Marin MOCA Exhibit
Patricia Zemanek
Pleased as punch to share my new piece, a beautiful altered vintage book, originally titled “Hari, The Jungle Lad”. I was inspired by some inner pages which talk about listening and silence - almost with a meditative connotation. I cut out the pages in squares on each side of the book, to inset and frame my art, which depict scenes described in the book pertaining to lessons on how to hear, listen and enjoy silence. Things we all can use lessons in!
It will be on display in MarinMOCA’s “10th Annual Altered Book Exhibit” which opens this Saturday. If you can’t make it to the opening reception, be sure and drop by for the auction. Book lovers will be happy with the chance to add some art to their walls…
