FOLDS. 1998. TWO CARDS IN ENVELOPE.

Little Sparta: Wild Hawthorn Press, 1998
10 x 6.5cm, envelope with printed label content of two 3.5 x 5cm 1pp folded cards.
The first card created by Thomas A Clark and Laurie Clark reads “FOLDING THE LAST LAMB” meaning the animals have been placed in a pen. The second card by Finlay reads FOLDING THE LAST SAIL” which has a double meaning of storing a sail and/or folding a sail around a dead sailor as a form of coffin before burial at sea.Both cards are folded – adding a physicality to the metaphors by altering the cards themselves.
This is the second version of Finlay’s card – previously published by the Wild Hawthorn Press in 1997 in a larger size and alone but with an acknowledgement to the Clarks. This version has both the original card and its adaption. VG+.
