In a more literal sense, my
altered books serve as curvaceous
sensual forms that are
rolled like tight scrolls, with many
of the forms giving way to a
gentle unfurling, as well as a bit
of folding. The folds in the pages
echo many of my sculpted fiber
forms, where I gather-pull-tuck
the fiber into undulating ribbonlike
shapes. The folds serve as
a suggestion for the possibility
of something hidden, tucked just
out of view. It is within both the
circles and folds that a soft edge
resonates, a language that is
shared by both.
