Moving household meant evaluating all of my old books, collected from family members and their houses - both long gone. As I sorted through them, I found signatures on fly leaves, of people remembered and some I had only heard about in family tales and knew them from photographs . I thought about these books they had read and wondered if the books themselves could give me as much insight into the thoughts and personalities of the readers, as the photographs.
These collages are snapshot portraits of some books and the people who owned them, their interests and the times in which they lived.
