codex infinitum - the infinite book...


my solo exhibition - codex infinitum 

opened October 10 at Switchback Gallery...
 

the gallery entrance is now guarded by my book pillars 
 
Pulvis et umbra sumus - 'we are dust and shadow'


 

inside the gallery...


 there are large and small photographic prints,
 
a large book structure and a small handmade book

on the middle partition is my large print...


  Ancora Imparo - 'I am still learning'

which is also the name given to the installation

recreated in the middle of the gallery...
 

the installation contains the looooooong coptic bound book

codex inperfecto - the unfinished book
 
 
 behind the middle partition

 hidden from initial view...  
 
 
is the large 
 
(and beautiully lit)
 
 
 
  nec tamen consumebatur - 'and yet it was not consumed'
 
 
also in this space are three works from 2010 that long term blog readers

will already be familiar with... 

 
Novus libri scientia - The New Books of Knowledge  

   
Flammeus libri ardor - The fiery passion of the book 

and


 genius loci


as well as a small coptic bound book  
 
carpe diem
 
 
 
I'll share more of what's inside this small book 

and some more of the individual works in the show

*next time*
 
 
 
so with a last look over my shoulder -- it's on its own.... 
 
 
codex infinitum - the infinite book
