Reusing vintage, oversized sample wallpaper books, I have overpainted directly onto and into the wallpaper book pages, creating entire EXHIBITIONs worth of work in each of the five or six books I've made. Each wallpaper company is different, each paper special, each wallpaper designer is unique; thus, each book (body of work is special). I began these after I broke my ankle summer of 2022 and was bedridden for 3 or more months. With nothing better to do and locked inside my Manhattan apartment, I began painting into these books, unable to sew. Whitebox Gallery in New York exhibited one of them in January 2023. I think this work pushed me back into proper painting-painting.
