2009 marks the beginnings of a new collaborative project called: Inner Works, check out our new team blog! This is an altered book project of six fabulous artists coming together to share in a round robin over the coming Winter and Spring months. I can't think of a better way to spend these cold months to go inwards and create a special altered book.
The six artists are: Seth Apter, Veronica Funk, Supria Karmakar, Roxanne Evans Stout, Rita Vindedzis and Jill Zaheer.
Here is a lovely poem I'd like to share for the first day of 2009...to the "amazing you"....
"Only You" - a poem by Dan Coppersmith
No one on Earth exists quite like you
And no on is able
To do what you do
The person you are
The talents you bear
Gifts that only you can share
Only you have learned
From the things you've done
Gaining perspective
From the battles you've won
Times when you've lost
Have been priceless too
The lessons contribute
To what makes you you
The rest of the world
Can't see through your eyes
Which is why your insight
Is such a prize
Because you are you
There are lives you affect
Much more than you
Would ever expect
The things you do
The things you say
Send ripples throughout
The Milky Way
You're unique,
Amazings like no one else
You have the exclusive
On being yourself

What a great first post for 2009. I am so happy to be part of this collaboration and look forward to the treasures it brings throughout the new year. Beautiful poem too!
Wow, Supria...you and Seth both in on this adventure (two of my very faves!) so that must mean that your accomplices are super talented, too. I look forward to seeing what treasures you all create!
Awesome poem, too.
Peace & Love,

Happy New Year Supria. Love your official Grand Opening of our Inner Works Collaborative Blog. I love the "Only You" poem that you've posted. The lines:
" The rest of the world
Can't see through your eyes" struck me the most in so many ways. I think that Art is one way that we express to ourselves and the outside world just what it is that we do see. That's one of the beautiful and amazing qualities within art. So, with this, I look forward to see how each of us in the collaboration unfold the magic that we see within the topic that we've chosen.
Very best wishes for an amazing collaboration. Best- Jill
Happy New Year!
It looks like your collaboritive project is going to wonderful!!! Much Love...
Happy New Year Supria!! Thanks for sharing that wonderful poem. I have a very optimistic feeling for 2009. I think it's going to be full of opportunity and good things and working on this collaborative project is a great start to the year.
