"Taking as a starting point the incongruous space and shadows made by the open pages of the book, the process of opening or "entering " is explored as one would an unknown dwelling.
This process of exploration develops into the construction of a room within the book and then leads from the core of this interior place outwards, as fusion between inside and outside.
Interspersed, a constructive text hovers and casts shadows on the open pages as an active commentary and associative dialogue on the "construction ". Published by The Visual Studies Workshop, Rochester, NY in conjunction with Weproductions on an artist in residency scheme."
