| Pages of Time
: Chris Ruston, Southend on Sea, Essex, UK, October 2012 Pages of Time comprises three books: In the Still Hot Air, Crumbling Pages, and The Heart Now Held. Beginning with the raw pain of loss, In the Still Hot Air, a hollow figure lies in the centre of the book. This is followed by Crumbling Pages where the figure rests quietly beneath Eileen Callahan's words. Finally the third book's content is enclosed within an ancient cuneiform tablet, opening to remind us of The Heart Now Held. Together they form a gesture of remembrance in the face of ongoing grief - for to remember is to keep alive. Dimensions 21cm x 15cm; Medium. Various fine papers, Drawing Inks, Gold Leaf. www.chrisruston.com |
