PRIVATE STOCK #6: Inspired by Joseph Cornell's work, this small, three-dimensional piece encapsulates the emerging feelings of being a book artist working within a confined, physical space. Here, poetry by the artist is given a life through the layering of pages that remain unseen. Viewers interaction with the words and the design and allowing the piece to be held in one's hands, turned to view from differing angles exposes the viewer's own interpretations.
