Butterfly Summer
Category: I
Year: 2020 (March to September - during Covid19 lockdown)
Location: Norwich, Norfolk
Artist: Jules Allen
When lockdown began, I retreated to my studio and re-read the book (The Butterfly Summer by Harriet Evans) finding that some of the words within it had a strange correlation with those being broadcast in the news as well as my own emotional turmoil.
I began extracting the words with a scalpel, resulting in a 144 page 'companion book' (Glasswing) and returned to the original which I rebound in leather and lovingly restored the damaged pages with Japanese tissue.
An act of healing and reparation for both myself and the book.
