Description:
|
Hand-printed block prints are applied to library checkout cards which are affixed to mulberry paper. The pages are bound together with brads in a vintage cover with a manila folder slip case. Orange date due card in back pocket, numbered and initialed by author. Artist's statement: "Drawings of people reading made during my daily commute are translated into block prints and handprinted onto discarded library cards. The commuters engaged in their own private world intersect with book titles and signatures of past readers. The office materials used to construct each book imply tasks workers are bound for. The nostalgia of the old cards suggests a history of the changing methods of reading."
