Rapunzel by book artist Dennis Yuen
Cotton cords, Asahi bookcloth, Davey bookboard, Canson paper, linen threads, 2-needle coptic binding 58”w x 35”d x 3.25”h
“Rapunzel is the first piece in a series that re-tells familiar children stories though books, but only through the physicality of these books. Every material in this book is white (or off-white), so the viewer is confronted with its physical form, and forced to address it. Embodied into its binding and form, the essence of Rapunzel can be seen and touched through the physical book.”
Re: Collection
How do we collect our memories? How do we read our thoughts? Is memory capable of prohibiting the human imagination, or can imagination exist within the thoughts that we collect in a lifetime? "Re: Collection" is an upcoming exhibition of student art at the University of Ottawa that explores the concepts of memory as a collection and the mind as a labyrinth of infinite possibilities.
