Owl Soup

My belief in monogamy coupled with marriage to Vivienne prevents me from courting owls; but as eating is the next best thing to bedding, I've named this book Owl Soup.

Created as an edition of ten, each copy measures 11.25" x 7.5", 32 pages with wax paper stamped cover, hand-stenciling on Stonehendge, and a binding by John Demerritt.

Been thinking a lot lately of our trip, a few years ago, to le pays Dogon in Central Mali--the names and colors of West Africa, the dust and the dirt. I love things to be dirty.

G. Lekeu

Guillaume Lekeu is not a particularly well-known composer but I listen to his music often, especially while working. The sound of his work effects the  choices I make while painting. Lekeu had a short life; he died one day after his twenty-fourth birthday from ingesting contaminated sorbet. This book is meant to be an homage. While hand-painted, or perhaps more correctly hand-stenciled, it was done as a multiple; there are ten copies. The page size is approximately 11" x 7.25" and the paper is Stonehedge. 32 pages. The binding is by John Demeritt.
