Tomorrow it will be my pleasure to talk about artist Katie Paterson, for whom books remain completely bound with the future, the earth and the paper they’re printed on. This relationship inspired her project “Future Library,” in which she’s commissioning authors to help write 100 works to be kept in the trust for 100 years. They will be published in a limited-edition anthology in 2114, on paper made from 1,000 Norwegian spruce trees planted near Oslo last year.
Eager to get to know her.

Bernadette, no worries at all! 😀 I just did a double take when I saw the picture and name. Katie Paterson is a worthy member of your Friday Feminists. Over to read it now. Wishing you a lovely weekend.😀
