LIMINAL WATERCOLORS: VOLUME I

by Christiane Cegavske

published in 2022

Created in that magical time between dreams and focused activity, Cegavske's watercolors pull the scraps of dream imagery into the light.

In the long morning shadows, she sits sipping coffee and staring into the blank page with no preconceived notions. When the spirit moves her, she fills the brush with water and paint and freely swirls it around the page. From the seemingly random strokes and drips, imagery begins to emerge which she then clarifies with pencil, pen and more watercolor.

These loose and dreamlike scenes are the result.

In this collection of 99 art prints, pages are printed on only one side so you could separate them from the book to hang if you like.

BLOOD TEA & RED STRING:

PRODUCTION ARCHIVES

by Christiane Cegavske

A few of you fans of Blood Tea and Red String wished to see deeper into the processes of this difficult project through the thirteen years it took to complete. In these pages you might find a clue to the method behind the madness. Or perhaps just enjoy a few of the drawings. Buried here are clues to the meanings of some of the symbols, but not all of them.

So, here I have compiled years worth of notes and drawings, the script, production stills and storyboards in full color for the interested few, the curious, and the equally obsessed.
