Deposits is the second in a series of artist book projects made for active reading. The books in this series are meant as artifacts of experiential reading, while videos preserve the events when not installed. This series will culminate as a group of works in an active reading room. Deposits is a book meant to be read while ascending a ladder. The text is a collection of memories that are embedded in a kind of geological strata. The book was printed as part of a residency at the Minnesota Center for Book Arts in 2016 and completed in 2018. It was also supported by a Scholarly and Creative Activities Grant from the University of Nevada Reno. When installed the looping sound element is set low to lure the reader/viewer up the ladder, closer to the voice.
