things my mother told me...

a few years ago,
in an assignment during a book class
we were asked to make a "non-traditional book"

what exactly is a book?

book (book)
-noun
a written or printed work of fiction or nonfiction, usually on sheets of paper fastened or bound together within covers;
a set of rules, conventions, or standards;
anything that serves for the recording of facts or events



front view




side view




more rules:
stand up straight, don't touch the toilet seat, sit still




being measured




my mother is a seamstress, a quiltmaker, an artist whose image
i admire and want to live up to

in this representation
her expectations were pinned on me over and over
her measurement repeatedly wrapped around me

colophon...
spool of thread, paper maiche dress form, tissue paper sewing pattern, antique bobbin,
antique sewing machine attachments, quilting pins, thread
