The complex nature of books as objects is in my bones. I am drawn to their container-like quality, their layered sequential revelation, and their ability to both reveal and conceal. I like the intimacy of books requiring one’s time and touch. Books still occupy an iconic position in our culture; I have a mystical concept of the book and the body as a unity: the book is the word, the word is the voice, the voice is the body, the body is the book.
