Inspired

I’ve been circling around this project for years. It’s important to me. But HOW? How to take the bones of someone you love, and somehow make them live?

It has something to do with altered books. It has something to do with digestion.

And today I was shown the work of an artist who did exactly all that, over a fifty year period. Three times. Do you know Tom Phillips? I didn’t. He took a published book and altered every page, making it into new art. It’s called “A Humament.” It’s here.

Now I see the potential for two side-by-side versions of Jame’s work. His, scanned and filed, and mine, taking his and filtering it through who I now am.

Here we go.
