Entwined

Intrigued by the information that could be held within a book- such little space, yet so much to unpack. Entwined was a response to the ways a book is experienced, sculptural or not- it is personal, intimate in ways that could only be shared by one. Thinking about relationships between people, the world and the natural aspects of life, I thought about what it meant to share burden and the weight of connection. This particular form is meant to be difficult to explore and open without support- whether that be a table or another person; alone, it was difficult to handle- complicated.

From the beginnings of unfolding, it is evident that a burden cannot be harboured even though it can be packed away. When unravelled, it is always in need of support.
