"Old books carry a history, not only the story written on the pages. Dog-ears, stains, a dedication on the flyleaf, a doodle in the margin.
Smooth paper, elegant, cream white or discolored, brownish and brittle – a material full of nuances, different shades, texture and personality.
I use books from the beginning of the last century. Take them apart, tear, shred and cut the pages into small pieces that are reassembled into new objects. Eggshell thin, yet remarkably steady. The story lives on, but in a different shape."
