Billie covered the Blue Book with Japanese fabric.

There are some dark themes running through it such as death, suburban neurosis and war but also shared travels and some lighter moments.

Some of the pages' themes are dictated by the original content - words have been selected and show through to the altered pages.

May 2004. Billie-Joye Stewart and I decided to start a collaborative project. We found two old trashy books at the dump shop, we each took one to start with and created a first entry. Then we swapped. Over and over. It's a slow-mo project, we have lots on our plates. It's still going. This page tracks their creation. Click on the journal covers to look inside

Blue Book

August 2008. Helen Lehndorf and I decided to start a collaborative project. We found two blank journals, we each took one to start with and created a first entry. Then we swapped. Over and over. It's a slow-mo project, we have lots on our plates. It's still going. This page tracks their creation. Click on the journal covers to look inside.
