Mary Ellen Long Book Art Mary Ellen Long's direct relationship with the land is celebrated in her book art. She performs her own personal rituals in her forest habitat in Colorado, such as burying paper or whole books under winter snows, creating art forms that empathize with the cycles of the earth; or telling stories of event and history, which grows from her need to connect with a primal consciousness--a consciousness that respects and coexists with the natural environment. Her book art has become a way to personalize the enormous impersonality of the land's dynamic, freezing in time the flow of natural transitions and patterns around her--a way to translate the spirit of one small portion of the earth's landscape.
