Part of the RE Books series, this sculptural book work consists of three words, each beginning with the letters RE. The letters are hand sewn with stuffed fabric plus a wrap around sewn fabric cover. The series is a play on the phrase "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." Addiction, like others in the series, looks at doing things again and memory.
