What started out as a concept of a book unfolding, transformed into an installation in the woods. Remnants from this book concept remain for those who know to look for them. In the many-layered smaller boards, texts from some of my favorite female authors, Virginia Woolf, Zadie Smith, Shirley Jackson, Anais Nin and Margaret Atwood, are sculpted on. Little hidden messages of insight and inspiration that have meant very much to me throughout these transformative years. Viewers can see a glimpse, but not make out the whole story— very symbolic of an inward philosophy hiding behind outward expressions. The mulberry and thai kozo papers have an acrylic polymer on them, which allowed them to take on a twisted and sculptural form.
Four years later, they remain-- decomposing and rotting, but still holding on.
