The Paper Garden: An Artist Begins Her Life's Work at 72 by Molly Peacock

hopeful informative inspiring slow-paced

Shout out to the Brookline Booksmith used book cellar for this hidden gem! This is why I love buying used books—you get introduced to books and people you’ve never heard of. Mary Delany was an interesting person to read about, her botanically accurate proto-collages are stunning, and I LOVE a nonfiction book written by a poet, Peacock did such a great job structuring the narrative and working in themes from the mosaics and she always mentioned her methodology! I live for a nonfiction book where the writer brings us into the research process!!
