Sitting among the sculptures in the current Summit Artspace exhibit, Time Capsules, is an actual time capsule – a wooden crate built to hold artwork and ephemera from local artists and art lovers. Terry Klausman designed and built the container, made arrangements for its storage and constantly encouraged those in the arts community to add a little something to collection. It is now brimming with books, artwork, clippings, photographs and notes. Multi-talented wood sculptor, Tom Baldwin, hand lettered the box and the lid. At the close of the exhibit the crate will be sealed and stored at the Akron-Summit County Public Library, Special Collections, to be opened in fifty years. While the world of 2065 is unknowable, I’m confident that those who open the box will be delighted with the treasure within.
My contribution is a handprinted book of prints from Tree Lines/Dusk + Dawn, with business card, postcards, etc., tucked into the back.
