Found Book, Charcoal, Mirror, Glue
Fall 2010

1. I have always been, for the most part, and introspective person. I don’t like to reveal too much too quickly to anyone. I love words. I love books. Books provide comfort for me because I can get lost in them (hence the mirror in the back), become friends with the characters, and they are always there to jump in to. But the layers of the pages felt like the layers of me people really have to go through to get to know me. I’m a reflective person, another reason for the mirror. I spend time in the theatre and find comfort in it, hence ripping apart the Shakespeare piece. The charcoal on the rim of the ripped pages is supposed to give it a burnt, used look, a way I often feel.
