If It Be Night

2017 14.5 x 11 1/8 x 2 inchesCoptic sewn book, 7 signaturesAcrylic and ink on Cave black paper and polyester, with painted woven Tyvek
If It Be Night is a book about writing and language and our digital world. I selected words by many authors and included a timeline of digital development to show how quickly change has come. Will how we write and how we process words alter how we think and remember? Will it change out senses? I love drawing letters and making brush marks, my marks. The computer opens a wide world to me but less of a sensory one and I want to keep both.Private collection.
