artist Ros Rixon makes some very interesting work with the wonderful medium of the book.I would love to see more work, especially the sculptural work like the work above.
She uses the below poem in her statement- and it is quite lovely.Weary of those who come with words,
Words but no language.
I make my way to the snow-covered island,
The untamed has no words,
The unwritten pages spread out on every side.
I come upon the tracks of deer in the snow.
Language but no words.

The glass globe and strips of language can read like nests, universes, and dust balls-
I have tried to use books before in my own work and have always had a very hard time - as I just hate cutting apart a book- in a way they are so perfect as they are. But I do love it when others do.
