Flight Log
Cast-paper leaves open like a compact book, their burnt-umber surfaces held together with a silk-cord binding.
Date1987
MediumCast paper with burnt-umber pigment; text printed on Nepalese handmade paper; silk cord
Dimensions8 × 9¾ × 2⅜ in.
The sculpture record identifies Flight Log as a bound cast-paper object with burnt-umber pigment, printed text on Nepalese handmade paper, and silk cord. Its exact archival photograph is shown uncropped and preserves the partially open book-like form.
Zarina’s four-line Flight Log text and her later biographical reflection remain available in the Life chapter as accompanying words. The object record and photograph do not establish that every visible cast-paper leaf carries that complete poem, so literary attribution is kept separate from the physical description.
