Stitched paper tapestry.
64x63x8"
In 1994, I was documenting my daily angst in my journal. Years later, when I reread my words, I realized how much shame had consumed me. I removed the pages, applied ink and wax, cut them and then stitched them back together, not as they were but as something new to let the past simply be.
