Artist's Book, one of six variants in this series, each unique, this on BFK Rives paper with six pages of painted Mylar, three at each end, the copy signed and numbered by the artist / author, Laura Wait, on the title page and again on the last page of text. Page size: 14-7/8 x 5-7/8 inches; 56 painted and / or lettered pages plus one sheet 11 x 5 inches. Bound by Laura Wait: exposed spine, hand sewn on linen cords with green linen thread with additional sections sewn on and laced in, patinated embossed copper over boards, all-over embossing accomplished by the artist with same themes as those painted in the book, housed in custom-made black cloth clamshell box with white label printe din black with title and artist on spine, fine. The artist's statement reveals that the book concerns trees of life, magic and immortality. There is a short history of the meaning and importance of trees in world culture which is written in the middle of many pages. The artist adds that the book was begun in 2004 with the creation of extra pages of IN THE GARDEN and additional imagery was added in 2006-2008 using paste painting, stencils and many layers of handwriting as text and image. The result is a book with pages as densely filled as a forest: images behind images behind images, in shades of green with highlights and writing in black, gold, blue white and terracotta. The three kinds of trees celebrated are: Life, Magic & Immortality, with lists of each given in the text page. The importance of trees as universal creative and growth symbols in most cultures goes back thousands of years, exemplified by ties to Christmas, the Cabbala, the Sumerian Tree of Life, and sacred places everywhere. Ms. Wait has been inspired to translate this into a beautiful book celebrating nature as well as creativity.
