Où Sont Les Enfants? 2020
11 x 7 x ,75 inches closed, 36 pages
Ink and gouache 
on Kate FairChild handmade paper

Kate made bright, irregular papers and these sunny yellow pages with flower petals seemed perfect for words by Colette in French. 'Where are the Children?' is an essay about her mother always searching and wanting to protect her children. There are also Colette's writings about gardens.
