Words I Like
By Dawn Blair
Each tab can be moved or pulled out, and has a different word I like on it. Mostly, words without regard to meaning. Just words I like the sound of, or like the way they look, aesthetically. They had to all be words I have used and know what they mean. Other than that, they are random. I didn't want to defile the content of the book. So, the pages are all folded and held together by tension. They naturally fan out because of the extra bulk, and because of the tabs. If she wants, my friend can unfold and read the pages, or rearrange the tabs depending on her mood. It is my hope that she will stick other random crap in the pockets and that this art piece will evolve with her. I hand stamped keys on the leather like paper. Words are the key to many things in life. The copper string is for her to remember all of her friendships with unlikely people, because of the wonderful place we work.
