Making cutouts of my body parts, fetched from a scanner and hit gluing them to a homemade book cover created this. I wanted to show how people are a part of their writing and reading, and in the middle of creating or indulging in a book or electronic wordspace, it occupies us as we occupy it and we become a symbiotic entity.
The hot glue strings and lines at first were messy and unappealing to me, but the more I looked at them, the more I like them. They look like hollow hairs and pulsing veins, further convincing me of the illusion that our works are "alive" beings, interracting in a very real way with us.
