What we carry...inside and out by Judy Sgantas

This piece was inspired by my love of sailing and by Hedis Secret Belgium Binding. The boat, whether a skiff or with sails—with or without paddles—has been an image that has meant much to me. The title reflects that I carry much, what is seen on the outside and much more that is in the inside. Hence the French fold lent itself to the passing image of photos from my life. As you turn the page the photos are hidden underneath inside the signature. The top, blank page is for keeping important phrases that I like to collect and hold on to. At present they are blank. The front and back inside cover have a Fibonacci (nautilus) wave that opens out in either direction, to the left and to the right. Water flows over in a soothing manner or at times buries us and knocks us off our feet, the center has waves and fish and my boat, are one. I chose whites, uncomplicated and not distracting, leaving it open for ones own thoughts.
