"detritus"

abandoned works

a finished work of unfinished thoughts.

the covers are PETG etched with a nail and filled with ink, sandwiched 

between two sheets of paper, one of which is cut out. 

the text was achieved with a gum arabic xerox transfer.

an accordion fold is a manageable way to bind

books without many materials.

The book is read in one direction until it flips itself over and one

 is allowed to view the opposite side. the viewer can start

at either end. one side contains 4x5 fragments of 

failed experiments, printed disasters and 

disappointments. the opposing

side contains text

 describing

 "detritus". 

paper is found scraps, bright white. bound with a length of bleached blue broadcloth. size is approximately eight inches square
