In order for a book to convey meaning, it requires an interaction.  Someone needs to read it, or scribble in it, add photos to it, or page through its images.  I like crafting art that has a function, art that invites this co-creation.

Using found objects in new ways, juxtaposing fine silk bookcloth with the altered pages of old books, or incorporating copper etching, I hand-craft completely functional books that are subtle stories in themselves.  They are completed long after they leave my care with the photos, stories, poems, thoughts, drawings and scraps that are added by someone else.
