From the text:
"It is always there when I work, that battle. More even than the paintings, it's the drawing part of the painting that is that battle, the increments of differences when you move two inches this way or two inches that way, the holding of the focus of that moment.... Any object is actually contained only in its space. When you move the object, you shift the space."
Reader comments:
I greatly enjoyed the reception and signing for Regina Granne's magnificent Increments. As familiar as I thought I was with Regina's work, I learned much more from seeing these earlier pieces and from reading the interview included in the book. The interview surprised me by its length, and how detailed it was in addressing Regina's personal life and artistic concerns.... I am a writer and may contact you about learning how to produce books as beautiful as Increments. I've known about hand binding for many years, but have not yet tackled an edition. Maybe in the future.
