Title: June Leaf. Mabou Coal Mines
Description: Steidl. Hardcover. Pp: 196. This book is a facsimile of June Leaf`s sketchbook from the winter of 1974 and 1975, spent in Mabou Coal Mines, Nova Scotia. She has lived here since 1969 with her husband, Swiss-American photographer and filmmaker Robert Frank. The book is above all a working document of Leaf`s thoughts. Drawing is her primary medium, an approach explained in her first written entry of 26 November, 1974: "œI don`t usually like to write because I am more satisfied by an action." nnHer sketches are exploratory, inquisitive, incomplete: for example she refines a motif as simple as a knot over days and weeks, drawing it in different ways until it becomes no more than a detail in a larger, more complex picture. Leaf is not afraid to express the difficulty of the creative process, her frustration as well as her progress: "œI`ve come to a dead stop. Should make a sculpture "“ don`t want to! Should play the fiddle "“ don`t want to! Should take a walk "“ too cold. Where`s the inspiration?" nnAmidst such uncertainty Leaf`s husband remains a constant source of inspiration: representations of Frank are scattered throughout the book, from its opening pages to the last, unpretentious entry of 24 April, 1975: "œBlue book ends.". ISBN: 9783869300450. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
