This is an experimental piece for several much larger sculptures. This will be my first exploration into using epoxy resin as a way to stabilize and hold the book-forms together without the size restrictions of a jar. The concept for this body of work came from the most unlikely of sources.
While I enjoy the sculptural process I am often times weighted down with the daunting task of storing my larger pieces and by the thought of them sitting bins stacked in a storage closet. I came up with this idea while trying to figure out an aesthetically pleasing way to store my larger sculptural works.
This piece consist of 28 books created from the destruction of The New International Webster's Standard Dictionary. Archaic Inquiry is the title I'm using for any works created from old discarded dictionaries. Much like the prəˈzərv series these works are based off of knowledge that is no long utilized. These 28 books still need to be bound, stained and shaped before I begin my epoxy resin experiments.
