A six-week artist residency at the Ucross Foundation in south-central Wyoming - not to mention a cross-country drive - put me in a succession of new and astounding landscapes. From my studio window, I had an uninterrupted view of a wide and desolate expanse. During this time, a photographer friend was writing to me and including his recent work. I pinned up a series of cyanotype images that he sent and was moved to write about them, as well as the winter landscape out my studio window. The photos and reflections resulted in "What's Out There." The ten-panel accordion book structure was chosen to echo the long horizon.

I’m Taking My Time Making Something
Poem and handmade abaca & indigo-dyed kozo cover paper by Jean Buescher Bartlett. Printed from metal engravings of computer-generated Eve type on Ragston paper. New Mexican rock wall inlaid frontispiece photograph by Tom Finke. Available in a cyanotype or silver-print version. Accordion fold text pages bound between handmade paper covered boards. 6" x 9". Specify photo preference in "Order Notes".
The cover sheets were double-dipped in the papermaking vat. The natural abaca was dipped first, and the indigo-dyed kozo second, creating a single sheet with two unique layers. The dried sheets were then cut in half with a paper knife. One half was used for the front cover, the other half for the back cover. My creative process needs uninterrupted time and space to unfold. The generous white space on the text pages is intended as a symbol of this. The poem addresses small everyday occurrences that may either accentuate or hinder the creative process. The cliff-dwelling frontispiece photography alludes to the solitude and space needed to sustain artistic efforts.
