STUART, MICHELLE. Botanist's Notebook. Handmade papers, mixed media, including collage and ink and plant specimens. 158 pp. Paper-covered boards (6 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches). Signed and titled by the artist in pencil. Stuart has often used natural materials to create her art: soil, sand, plants, wax. This particular work, while still unique, is somewhat different from her other unique "works" in that rather than being produced in the studio or on site, it was created in collaboration with Dieu Donne Press in New York. It purports to be the notebook of a botanist and as such is an assemblage of fragments of notes, drawings, specimens, etc.; all on a variety of handmade papers bound by the press.
