Book of Dread

Part of our ongoing project Security Blankets, the Book of Dread is presented as an oversized open book formed by stacking double-sided blankets that are treated as pages. Each is assembled as a horizontal two page spread that the viewer is encouraged to touch, lift and turn over. The book structure binds the images using looped steel rods, centered and bolted to the steel inside front and back “covers.” The piece is sculptural and tactile, and presented to be seen and touched at waist level.
