"Demeter's Dream" was inspired by the artist's fascination with the diversity of nature and the ancient Greek goddess who presided over the fertility of the earth. In addition to being the goddess of the harvest, Demeter is also goddess of Mysteries, and goddess of sacred law and the cycle of life and death. This book is made from fabric, plant infused paper made by the artist with New England flora, white vellum, and linen thread and has a Japanese stab binding.
