The First Folio of the Book of Days


For some time (when I have spare moments) I have been working on an illuminated manuscript. Most of this time has been dedicated to writing and editing the poems for it. I don’t know if I can write poetry … Sometimes I convince myself that I can, but other times I’m not so sure. Whether I can or not, I’ve come to a point where I feel comfortable putting ink to vellum. In the last few days I’ve finished the first folio. Here it is. Like all art (except David Hockney), it looks better in person. The ink floats on the skin.
