Seven Secrets

New York: Vincent FitzGerald & Company, 2006. One of 10 copies only, on J.B. Green paper, each signed and numbered in pencil on the colophon by the artist, Susan Weil. Page size: irregular but about 7 inches x 9 inches; 7 individual collages each hand water colored, cut out, and assembled by the artist, Susan Weil, and the publisher, Vincent FitzGerald. On the reverse of each individual work of art is a "secret" hand written by the artist. Because they are secrets, the reader / viewer can see words but there is no way to read the secret. Bound: loose in translucent plexi-glass box with sliding cover, printed colophon in black with title in red visible through side of box, new. The images created by Weil are so full of life - one is instantly drawn into the full world of this talented artist who has always included others in her life - children, partners, pets - all lovingly viewed through her aesthetic. The colors are vivid blues, bright yellows, gold and silver and the reader / viewer engages with them - knowing they will be unknowable and all the more intriguing.
