in Refreshing the Pallet group show - Retort Art Space, 2005




This work recycled materials used in Marginal Errors (2003), over 800 books stacked (over 3 meters high) on a wooden pallet. In the Marginal Errors project the outer margins had been cut off every single book to reveal the 'strata' one printed word upon another. This reconfiguration of the material extended an exploration into the primacy of the written word as 'truth' and the overwhelming volume of material / history / stories in the world... and the fabled Tower of Babel.
