| In the Dense Words |
|
| Location: |
Faxon Company lounge space, Westwood, MA, 1988 |
| Client: | Faxon, Inc. |
| Size: | Five elements ranging from 106" x 48" x 48" to 30" x 36" x 36" |
| Materials: | 5,000 laminated books, chainsawed |
| Budget: | $21,000 |
|
| In the Dense Words was created for a green house-like space at the office of a large, international library brokerage firm. The five frestanding pieces are constructed from books and periodicals that have been laminated together and then chainsawed into tree shapes.
|
| The piece evokes a multiplicity of images: books that have lost their intimacy with people due to computerization and specialization as well as a reference to environmental destruction/recycling. |
