Book by: Adjoa Burrowes Image Contribution: Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter August 2020
Adjoa was nice enough to deliver her package by hand. Very exciting! In it are carefully packaged folders with papers instructions and two small mock-ups of her final book. Made of cardboard, the book has a rustic look to it and I love the band she made to hold it secure. Opening the book is a joy, as it cascades into beautiful folded paper. Each of the squares will hold our images, and she even included a few images so we can see how a finished page would appear in the completed book. Adjoa's theme is names, their meaning, the memory encased in them, the reinforcement of a name's power when it is uttered. Thank you so much Adjoa: ) I began with some sketches, and a couple of phone calls to Adjoa for needed information. I wanted permission to go off the edge of the page (got to stay boundless!) and Adjoa was kind enough to grant it. Tracing paper helped me to block in where all the folds would be. This helped me to keep the collage ...
