I wanted to create a stack of books so that somebody could come into the gallery and think they're just looking at a regular stack of books, but then as they got closer they would see this rough hole carved into it, and wonder what was happening, wonder why, and think about the material of the book.
Je voulais créer une pile de livres qui, au premier regard, ressemblerait à une pile de livres ordinaires. Puis, en s'approchant, on verrait ce gros trou, on se demanderait ce qui s'était passé et pourquoi, et on songerait aux matériaux utilisés.
