2005-2007

From a request by the poet David Lucas for illustrations of his poem cycle "The Lunar Calendar". The concept was developed in concert with Lucas, receiving essential critical input from designer Rick Smith over a period of nearly two years. The result, wall mounted, creates an essentially functional lunar calendar. Additional graphic material was reproduced from the 1916 book INDIAN HERO TALES illustrated by Frederick N. Wilson, by Edith Tait, who contributed handwritten transcriptions of the poems to the box interiors and by Lucas, himself, who wrote each poem in his own hand for attachment to the exterior of its box.
