A natural progression for one who was interested in the contribution language has made to humankind would be to eventually use the book itself as a format for expression.

Small book-boxes become the container for mini paintings with line-work and script, a cluster of old floor nails or a mound of stones.

In some cases actual books have been screwed open and finished to display a variety of surfaces that include the familiar raised Hebrew and Greek texts, Braille, or graphic elements carefully incised onto the luminescent painted books. The back of each artist book is embellished with calligraphic writing etched into the gilded surface of the covers.
