Nevermore by Lauren Duggin (ink on paper and wire birdcage)
Inspired by 'The Raven,' by Edgar Allen Poe, this artist's book transforms the poem into a three-dimensional form. 'Nevermore' takes select lines from the respected work and handwrites them onto a curled scroll. The text is crafted to create symbolic feathers and is accompanied by drawings of birds. Sitting in a domed cage, the verses are trapped; the edge of the scroll is slipping through the wired bars escaping into the viewer's space.
