Description
"Heart Sutra, Remix is a handmade, accordion-fold artist’s book inspired by one of the central texts of Mahayana Buddhism. It features digital collage and a poem presented in brush calligraphy. I composed the text for Heart Sutra, Remix almost 20 years ago as an oral poem when I was first learning about the Heart Sutra. For this edition, I performed the calligraphy for each page spread ten times. After finishing the calligraphy, I scanned my favorite version of each page spread and used it as the basis for the digital collages printed in the final book. Each copy is inkjet printed, finished with unique burns through the pages, allowing it to fit snugly into a reused cassette case. I think of the poem and this book as part of the long history of chanting and copying the Heart Sutra in calligraphy as a devotional act."--Abecedarian Gallery website, viewed July 15, 2022.
