The actual title of this book is In order to reveal to all eyes what she was made of, she had to break open the beautiful wax-figure she presented everywhere and it is a nine page fabric book that explores the story of a single anonymous woman. The artist worked with found photographs from a clothing catalogue and digitally manipulated the images to form a single narrative. She printed the photographs on ripped second-hand bed sheets and machine stitched the images together to make the book. She mirrored, repeated, and stitched over the woman with different shades of thread to demonstrate the existence of multiple and fractured identities in the construction of the female self and what it means to be woman. Additionally, the book explores that feeling of being both the actor and the audience of one’s own life.
