Abataka

I have a new book. (Yes, another).
This is a catalogue of quilts by Mary Fisher who is a UN goodwill amabassor to Africa on their AIDS project. The quilts are accompanied by short bits of her writings about her African experiences. Sections showing her sculptures and her textiles are accompanied by extracts from her speeches. Her quilts feature printing with woodblocks or lino cuts and often have words from her speeches incorporated. the book is very well produced and I was not charged extra for international postage. It is available from http://www.maryfisher.com/abataka.htm

Why not strike up a conversation with her online? Seems as though you two were meant to know each other! Hope all is well by you these days.
