Precious Stone


I recently finished working in Roxanne's book for my Inner Works collaboration. Her theme is Earth Tones, something that totally resonates with me. This is the fourth book I have worked in for this project. With each book I receive, more and more pages are completed. I created three pages for Roxanne. One is below. Click here to be taken to the Inner Works blog to see glimpses of my other pages and to read more about this project.

I shall carry this image with me for days to come: the Earth as a precious stone, something to meditate upon. Beautiful. Off to look at your other stuff now Seth x

Thrilling image! The earthiness, the rustiness and the raw edginess...just delicious!

I love your sense of order. Isn't it interesting that my work can be so wild and outside the lines and I appreciate your orderly pieces so much? Precious Earth, Earth Tones..stones...rings...a bit of red, some yellow gold...ring of earth...I like all I see here. Your bring it together so well.

Stunningly beautiful Seth. Roxanne is going to just love your Earth Tone pages! Wish we could re-circle all of our completed books to each other so we can all enjoy and hold the magnificent works of art in each other's books!

I'm thoroughly enjoying these pieces, Seth. They've got such a rustic beauty and they really resonate. There is a certain quality that makes you want to look at them over and over again. Thank you. I checked out the work of your collaborators - all wonderful. Would love to see the whole finished project.
Best regards

Oh... Seth, I absolutely love this..."Precious Stone" is such a beautiful concept, so fragile in it's roughness, so intricate in it's earthy details. I love the rusty washers and the circular wire in the center... this work fills me with joy and I can hardly wait to see the rest of it... thank you so much... Roxanne

i stumbled upon your page a couple months ago and fell in love with all the beauty you've created out of the old and discarded, which has inspired me to take up my photography again. thanks!

I have just been over at Roxanne's and I am in awe over these stunning art books that this group have been creating, all of them are to be treasured.
I love your concept of the earth being a precious stone... and your clever use of word play that I so admire in you.
Kudos!

Great depth and tone here Seth. Like the look of all three pages from what we can see. Hope when it's all finished that the collaborators post pics of the final outcomes. Would be wonderful to see them in their entirety.
