...................volatile
actions - the text in this artists book clarifies a perspective
of that most contentious of four letter words. The
actions described can be volatile. The imagery adjacent to the
text is multiple layers of relief prints building up a rich texture
related to both the land and those who occupy the land. To open
each book in the edition for the first time the reader has to
literaly tear the pages. Each tear reveals text, image and pages,
and each tear runs through the text.Symbolic of the fundamental
premise that to enjoy the richness of life you need to accept
the difficulties that come with it, the book cant be read unless
the reader is prepared to tear the book. LOVE is a volatile action
and will not compromise either in enjoying lifes fullness or
accepting its pain.
