Description

Randy Sovich, my architect father, and I, a book artist/poet, saw this call as a chance to explore the relationships between our crafts. Joinery defines three typologies of construction: tent, cave, and hut. These relate to cultures around the world; each have binding structures that relate back to the three—as well as the fable “The Three Little Pigs,” so we created miniature books for each structure. Tent adapts traditional Japanese 4-hole binding; the tackets and sewing recall the construction of a tent or yurt. Cave adapts an Ethiopian binding; the cover’s leather shaped over cord recalls the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela in Ethiopia. Hut adapts a Western-style 2-hole link stitch; the stitching over parchment tapes and the basketweave cover recall post-and-beam and woven panel construction of huts. The spines are displayed in a box, whose burnt finish represents the outside world’s dangers. In the process, we discovered “a law of geometry and a law of poetry” connect our crafts.
