The premise of this book was very simple: take quotes about the
value of books from authors of credibility and substance, print
them, and then deface the book obliterating the word "book"
in every quote. The watercoloring resembles blood spattered into
the pages the damage increases as the pages progress towards the
end. The book is a record of damage, distress, pain, and woundedness.
Size: 8 1/2 x 7 1/2"; Laserjet and watercolor on Rives Lightweight
