My
work is about the lifecycle of ideas--following the circular path from
origin to discussion, documentation in a text format, dissemination,
and storage, to the resulting growth of a network of ideas, and then
the return to the original idea (which may be refuted, discarded or
sanctified). I use discarded library books and discarded foliage iconographically
to address these themes--both the intellectual and natural materials
have lived through a cycle. Although I use books, I'm interested in
how digitized text, as well as text on paper, are the vehicles for the
dissemination of ideas. Feel free to walk the paths and amongst the
trees of this forest. Take time to sit on a stump and reflect upon networks
of thought that have influenced you. Consider the fruits of knowledge
that have affected you the most and the foundation of those ideas.
