craft book, 2020

found wooden box, wax candles, vellum, ink, book binding cloth, silk, acrylic paint

Box book form containing thirty wax candles imprinted with original text. This book speaks to the idea of “craft” — and its intersections with identity, capitalism, and survival as an artist. Part performance, I burned one candle per night for thirty nights and created new text in its light.
