1. Psychic Research, Canvas Book

I am exploring books as a painted medium, combining image, text and found objects in books of acrylic paint on canvas pages. These painted works are at once books, and ideas about books. There is the physical object in book-like form, though unrelated to traditional notions of book-making such as fine binding and typography. In addition, the content is usually a play on components of books: chapter and plot, covers and pages which turn in a fixed sequence, drawing attention to the imperatives and authority of the form itself.

Primarily, these painted works are about the kind of information that can be communicated in a hybrid form combining image and text. They are about language and time embodied in a complex and sensate sculptural object.
