This handmade book is my artist statement for the exhibition, "While I was Waiting..." It is constructed using my family's 1950 Book of Knowledge, other found papers, images I have designed and printed, and found objects. A simple coptic stitch is used to bind the pages.
The textile assemblages are constructed on vintage linens, embroidered using a single thread, beads, vintage trim, reconstructed silk flowers, acrylic and found objects. Many of the altered frames are vintage and incorporate glass mosaic. The collage works are various vintage and artist made papers.
PLEASE BE PATIENT, THE IMAGES WILL CYCLE, AND THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO IMPROVE THAT—YET.
