Meditation on one hundred and thirty

This collection supports and promotes awareness to the important mission and framework of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here Coalition's focus on the lasting power of the written word and the arts in support of the free expression of ideas, the preservation of shared cultural spaces, and the importance of responding to attacks, both overt and subtle, on artists, writers, and academics working under oppressive regimes or in zones of conflict, despite the destruction of that literary/cultural content. "The things that I make are inspired by everyday life and pay homage to traditional handcraft, outdated technology, and modest materials. I am interested in meditative handwork processes, memory, and remnants of past generations. I participate in many endeavours that strive to make art accessible to the community-at-large and people of all ages"--The Book Arts at the Centre for Fine Print Research, UK website.
