Thaw

Thaw, 2010/11
handmade paper (cotton, flax, plant greens, pigment), thread, twigs

Thaw mimics the thawing of polar permafrost due to climate change. Bound, waterlogged, frozen for the winter, and thawed during the spring, the book is simultaneously decaying and growing, providing some hope for the future of our changing planet.
