Sold
Concealed Within books are an ongoing series of unique, un-openable book objects. Original book pages are bound with cord, collaged with mixed media, papers, painting, and screen printing. This bundle is then sealed with hot wax. Each book is housed in a matching slipcase. Book and box contain a matching number, word or code signifying the title of each work. This series speaks to the appreciation of the tangible qualities of a book, but also the implication of the inability to access the content.
