Val MacEwan: Fan Tast Ique Hidden Beauty

An artist's book, a collaboration born out of Facebook and conceived by Christine Tarantino. Artists include: William Evertson, Mark Bloch, Christine Tarantino, myself, Kathleen McHugh and Anonymous. These photographs are details of the envelopes I created for each book (8 in all). The envelopes contain "hidden beauty" files, the significance of each item to be determined by the book's audience. It is what I call "participatory art".

Inspiration For The Page

I have always been drawn to eyes.
"Windows to the soul", they say.
When Christine proposed the theme
Hidden Beauty   for an Artist Book,
I saw ceilings of  Ethiopian angel faces looking
down at me. They became the inspiration for
my Hidden Beauty collages.
