This is an accordion style book made of 2" x 3" envelopes. Each envelop page was stamped, letter by letter, with a particular word.
Some of these envelopes contain scraps of paper or memento-like objects.
The book can be experienced two ways. The pages can be turned, one by one, as a normal book.
Or the entire book can be unfolded and hung from a wall in a gallery. When I exhibited this work at a Goddard College MFA-IA Student Exhibition in the spring of 2012, I hung the book low enough that the last 18" stretched out onto the floor.
