machine

I just used the last of the big machinery wrapping paper by Marian Bantjes that we had. I saved a scrap for Auggie. Marian's work is about expressing love and obsession through repetition, ornament and pattern. I was touched that she made this for for the little machine-lovers like my son. It's printed with fluorescent and metallic silver ink.

I looked at my notes from her talk last week and it says: Persian textbooks had spaces for notes to written right on the page (they are not quite margins, more like blank areas that the text runs around, like an absent image). Hmmm.
