Tentative book plan structure - idea 2
2. general book structure: left page has the overstory and the scroll down understory, right page has the visual story (which could then be seen as a ‘movie’-flip book when flipped through fast?)
3.embroidery thread connecting all the pages throughout with dots and lines (mores code for the names of all the ancestors that played a role in my fibre story?) and patterns is normal hemp rope, dyed different colours (?).
4. the ‘weight’ that holds the scroll down is a hemp rope (maybe several strands plaited into one bigger strand?)
5. the hemp rope is a nice way to link Abakanowicz and the ‘origin’ of my fibre story beginning with a piece of rope?
11- back-page. crick crack monkey break he back on a piece of pomerac, the wire bend and the story end.
