Although
viewers are free to make any associations they choose, this installation
gnaws at the notion that destroying books, specifically library books,
is forbidden. And yet, while books, in concept, may generate ideas,
I'm exploring the question, "What would those ideas really look like?"
And in order to show the three-dimensional "fruit" of knowledge and
reading, I must destroy books. (No circulating library books were harmed
in creating this piece.)
