IN PART



An accordion artist’s book inspired by the continuity of ancient scrolls, made in 2016. Detailed interior images here. The book contains elements of research from time at the Burren College of Art, coordinated around the theme of the fragment. I wondered how fragmentary shapes influence our consciousness and what could be understood through their contemplation. The motion of the book meditates on greek torsos, sapphic fragments, Irish bog bodies, memento mori, and journal entries. Images rendered in water-colour, ink, and collage, interact with the text. The final manifestation of this project was realized in a multi-media installation that dialogued with oil paintings, drawings, and sculpture. Edition of one.
