Statement

Presents one of my texts with original mixed media paintings on paper in a board book structure with leather spine and dimensional, collaged covers. 11 pages. Housed in a gray and red, cloth covered single tray box with lift ribon. This book was the basis for the 2011 limited edition book of the same name.

Text and sources

there is one who touches me so it burns my hands open at their feeling of the length of me looking into my face or down my body holding the place of liquid fire waiting there or questioning what it is when another’s touch burns me open as I burn down - my arms loosening whoever I am sheared away Ignited again by those hands hands that force me to question how far desire takes the body before mindfulness leaves it.
