Unlocking the secrets of paper By fold and crease And light razor kiss Spill ink and water Watch the colors Bleed and drip And palpitate Random strokes of fate By wind and breath Scatter white stars about Bend and tuck and frame A litte home For my queen Who wears my heart In her crown And a little book A little book With the simple tale Of a paper love A paper love Turned Real
Written while working on a paper sculpture of "Paper Queen"... "light razor kiss" is refrence to scoring the paper to get a clean fold in thicker papers such as watercolor or bristol board. The figure and base were sheets of paper painted in acrylic ink and goauche, spreading and mixing the colors at random. Then adding "stars" by blowing on the brush tip lightly filled with white ink.
