Enfoldment
Book Arts Scroll.
Enfoldment Scroll abstractly illustrates the complex and intrinsically domestic interaction between children and the adults in their lives.
It was created by weaving strips of paper together. The strips of paper are lines of text that were cut from a book about kings and their mistresses. This book was chosen as a commentary on the process of bringing children into this world; a process that often becomes horribly corrupted. The weavings begin consisitent and uniform yet as the scroll continues the weaving takes on an organic appearance. This progression directly correlates to the evolutionary interaction between a parent and their child. Much like growing a plant from a seed, we raise our children and watch them take on a form of their own.
This scroll won a book arts competition at Flagler College and was chosen to be purchased for display at the Flagler College Proctor Library. It is now part of the Flagler College permanent art collection.
