Book excerpt: The `Getting of Vellum' is inspired by Byron's creative collaboration with Dublin-based artist and calligrapher Denis Brown. The cross-fertilization of his inscribed and distressed vellum pieces in his series, The Word, and Byron's poems about the slaughtering of farm animals in her book, The Fat-Hen Field Hospital, has led to the creation of new work on both vellum and glass, as well as on the printed page.
