James Lee Byars famously spent a lot of time making lists.
In this first list we can see how long scrolls of hand-made paper, inspired by living in Kyoto and zen philosophy started a taste for textiles and ceremonious performances. His favourite sentence reads like a haiku;
Like a dream
like a vision
like a bubble
like a shadow
like dew
like lightning.
The list is reproduced from a press release for Made with Paper at the Museum of Contemporary Crafts, New York, in November 1967.
