A folded labyrinthine artist’s book asking big questions about the role of the artist. Desire, Purpose, Legacy and Value come to a head through the retelling of King Midas in a series of fold out panels. Made with a series of photographs of light beams and epic poetry. Collaboratively Designed with poet Kristen Crouse, with original poem screen printed on verso.
When confronted with the first attempts to make something “worth it”, solo, in a new city, after schooling is over, and the support of peers and materials are no longer readily available. Without anyone’s input, and a new set of technical parameters, What is possible? How does an artist who want’s to make something, anything, find a subject? What is desire, and what’s it all worth after all?
