Offerings at the Crossroads

Written and designed by Cheri Gaulke and Sue Maberry, Offerings at the Crossroads is based on their award-winning videotape, Sea of Time. A unique pouch made of multi-colored Balinese sarongs contains an artists' book with a design inspired by traditional palm-leaf books. The imagery includes Balinese scenes and the textures and colors of woven, batiked and dyed fabrics that were scanned on a flatbed scanner. Indonesian teak covers are held together by a central red cord and batiked wooden beads. Offerings at the Crossroads was digitally printed on an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 with archival inks and Epson watercolor paper. The book was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles’ Cultural Affairs Department.
