I studied the responses of emails to my inquiry about a donation to Special Collection Libraries. I finally made a decision and I’m delighted to announce that I found the perfect home for Equinox. Equinox will be part of the other 65,000 books housed in the Golda Meir Library. The library is part of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

After speaking with Max Yela, the Head of Special Collections, I relinquished all of my stress. I can now breath easy and able to let go of my project. The UWM Book Arts Collection endeavors to document and show the use of the book form as an art medium and has a world-wide reputation. With its active exhibitions, the Golda Meir Library will bring Equinox to the public and make them aware of my work.

The Golda Meir Library already holds 3 of my artists’ books: City Shields, Outside the Studio (AIR.10, copy #4), and 26NOV2006.

The most important criteria on my list were that Equinox would find a home in a Canadian Collection. When that turned out negative because of budget restraints my thoughts went to other important criteria, the library receiving Equinox as a gift had

acquired my artists’ books in the past, and
understood my work.

Celebrating birthdays of family, friends, co-workers, and associates by adding their names next to my portrait as I give a hand to those listed in 2005-2006.

Daily TV viewing next to my self-portrait throughout 2004-2005, credits a friend who sees life through the media.

Locations frequented during 2003 accompanied by a self-portrait, an emotive description, not of my own feelings of the day.

A celebration was in the air in 2002-2003 with a new Sheltie puppy, and a quote from the Book of Psalms accompanied my portrait.

During 2001-2002, remembering my father with flowers received, picked or visualized, my self-portrait, and the time of day I received insight.

Celebrating with a self-portrait, paper dolls—a daily muse, and a list of what gleaned on my five senses on each day during the new millennium (2000-2001).

Representing my life with a self-portrait and a list of daily activities, a meteorological report, and a receipt (proof of my existence) from an item purchased during 1999- 2000.

The first book of Equinox project, 1998-1999, archiving my journey with a self-portrait, the time of day I photographed myself, and people I interacted with during each day.
