About my work

 In my work with books I reference the strange, magical objects that books were for me during my childhood.

 All the books I use were discarded (many by public libraries) bagged up and ready to be sent to landfill. These books are cheaply made, mass-marketed products.  I enjoy recreating them using acrylic and mixed media, including drawings from my notebooks and whatever is lying around in the studio. I have been working this way with books for nearly 10 years.
