Bookhouse 
Site Specific Installation, Mixed Media: 2007

Albany, CA

I was given complete access to a friend's house that was going to be demolished for a new house. Using found materials at our recycling center I created a site specific installation responding to the rooms and taking over the narrative, where books are embedded into the spaces.

Books can represent many things, for me they are important objects and artifacts with endless variety. They become sculptures, totems and a documentation of specific times and places. This ephemeral work speaks to that notion of time and place, the fleeting nature of the things around us yet within them the enduring legacy of the written word.

​

Found books, ephemera, sand, nails, twine and construction adhesive.
