ALL DAY:

A Special Display of Terrance Lindall's  

GOLD ILLUMINATED PARADISE LOST ELEPHANT FOLIO

 Elephant Folio Paradise Lost

The Paradise Lost Elephant Folio is a hand-embellished and gold illuminated 13 x 19 inch book containing 14 full-page color 1000 dpi prints with 23.75 carat gold leaf hand painted pictorial borders on Crane archival paper.

“  ‘The Paradise Lost Elephant Folio,’ …is amazing; it is the culmination of Terrance Lindall’s life’s devotion to Milton, to Paradise Lost, and to all that Milton represents and his great epic means.  Because of Lindall’s supreme dedication and artistic achievements, Milton will live in yet another new age, brought to life in refreshingly new ways, made “relevant” in remarkably profound ways.  Because of Terrance Lindall, great new numbers of readers will be attracted to Milton and his profound epic than would otherwise, most assuredly, have been the case.” Dr. Robert J. Wickenheiser

The process of finding the next story to pursue is not hard...there is much grist for the mill, especially now.
Finding the proper vehicle that will resonate is the challenge. 
I worried that Cassandra would not find an audience, but there was a lot of lively discussion over the paintings and the altered book last night at Rhythmix Cultural Center. Thanks to d'arci Bruno for including my work in the show.

On to the next thing...There are several voices calling to me but i am still waiting for the path to unfold...
