 Item
Identifier: CC-51614-72713
Scope and Contents Amazon.com "It doesn't greatly matter to me whether I'm using plants or trees or stones or words or events," the artist, poet and gardener Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925-2006) once told an interviewer; "the impulse is always to make a coherent order out of things." Through a carefully edited selection from a voluminous correspondence, A Model of Order tracks the unique arc of Finlay's development, from poet writing in Scots dialect, to Concrete poet, toymaker and deviser of poems and inscriptions in glass, wood and stone, installed in parks and gardens. The title derives from Finlay's famous definition of Concrete poetry as "a model of order, even if set in a space which is full of doubt," a definition conceived in correspondence with poet Pierre Garnier. Poet and editor Thomas A. Clark's selection of Finlay's letters-to Louis Zukofsky, Robert Creeley and Ernst Jandl among others-explicates a rigorous and moral vision of the act of making." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

 Item
Identifier: CC-32374-33943
Scope and Contents This page consists of three small rectangular panels in its right third and a collaged, almost obscured text from typed carbon backing on its left two thirds. The uppermost panel on the right side is a collage made from a logograph that also appears in Phillips' Dante's Diary book, entitled "WHYSPEND." The middle panel is a handwritten, micrographic portion of Phillips diary in which he discusses meetings with Peter [Greenaway] and viewing Edward Muybridge original photographs at the V&A. The lowermost panel consists of a rectangular collage made from the Sackner Archive stationery. The section on the right two-thirds of the drawing consists of the circular drawing WHYSPEND collaged onto the typed carbon backing of "the thirty three sheets of notes to accompany the Thames and Hudson edition of Dante. A careworn piece of paper." In this collage, only an illegible shadowy remnant of words remains. This drawing anticipates the typed carbon backing for the translation of Dante's...

Archive for Wave/Rock Project/Bridge for Scottish Arts Council / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Harvey, Michael., 1972 - 1974

 Item
Identifier: CC-12850-13137
Scope and Contents Finlay begins this project in Jan-Feb 1972 with a letter to M. Harvey explaining that he wants to redo Wave/Rock for Stonypath, first constructed and then destroyed for the park at Dunfernline. He supplies a sketch for its placement. Then there ensues a correspondence from members of S.A.C. (Dunbar, Buchanan) to Finlay about funding this project and Finlay's comments. From July-Aug 1972, Finlay expresses disappointment with the Scottish Arts Council response siting for the sculpture mentioning his failed Zulu film project. In Aug 1972, Finlay contacts Harvey to make the drawing for Wave/Rock & provides detailed instructions for a concrete bridge, 16 feet in length with letters incised into tiles. Harvey responds to this directive in September. Finlay receives the drawing and notes variance with his instructions that must be corrected. This does not appear to be a major problem. In Sep, Murray writes Finlay about its fabrication. The correspondence between Finlay and Buchanan of...

Archive for Windflower Brooch / Windflower Medal / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Cherry, Norman; Harvey, Micheal., 1973 - 1975

 Item
Identifier: CC-12799-13086
Scope and Contents In Nov 1973, Finlay writes to Norman Cherry, a jewelry designer in Kelso about a project for making a brooch from a poem, "Windflower," a little mauve colored flower that trembles in the wind. This poem had been written for the Stuttgart Max Plank project. He requests that the brooch adapted from his poem should be made with material that undulates with movement of one who is wearing it and structured with letters 'pretty in themselves.' He indicates that the long "f" makes a natural stem for the brooch. Cherry replies in Dec 1973 with a suggestion for suspending the letters rather than using a single strip of metal as Finlay suggested. This solution is unsatisfactory to Finlay who provides further ideas. In Jan 1974, Cherry writes to Finlay that a new idea appears to lead to a workable solution and describes how the brooch will be made of almost paper thinness silver. In May-June, Finlay & Cherry exchange letters on progress of making the brooch in this manner and Finlay...
