Earth Dreams, 2014

This piece is a manuscript on parchment with five miniatures and six illuminated initials.  "Earth Dreams" is an original poem depicting the zealous imaginings of a would-be world-builder.  The manuscript was written with a brush on goldbeater's skin.  It was sewn over three raised supports, bound in wooden boards, and covered with alum tawed goatskin.
