Volume: Domesticated

Domesticated Collection
2023

“Second hand books are wild books, homeless books; they have come together in vast flocks of variegated feather, and have a charm which the domesticated volumes of the library lack.” ― Virginia Woolf

After decades of meticulously documenting periodical collections in long forgotten library basements, in Volume: Domesticated, the artist turns her gaze, and occasionally her hand, toward titles residing in second hand bookshops. Distant cousins, these wild and homeless books exude a palpable history, one which often begs reinterpretation — leaving the viewer to ponder their past, present and future.
