Seeds of Encounters …or the richly illustrated encounters of two artists with a passion for images and music.
In this book, every page—a combination of drawings, photographs, words and creative imaginings--is a work of art in itself…that will take you on an enriching journey around the world to encounter some truly interesting people.
This bilingual French-English book includes some fifty tableaux created from photographs, collages, paintings, songs…that slowly grew from the authors’ travels to France, Mali, the United States, Russia, Mauritania, Cuba…and their encounters with remarkable men and women fighting to save our environment. Their stories, experiences and ideas are thus an intimate part of each page in the book.
The songs--part and parcel of the work of art--are echoed in the CD (mixed in Box, England, by Adrian Chivers!) that is included with the book.
