My mother-in-law's much loved dictionary.
She's got the whole world in her hands.
Years and years of patient searching for just the right words to populate Tisha’s daily horizontal and vertical puzzle boxes have transformed this book from an ordinary reference tool into a physically manipulated sculptural object. The striations of paper become shifting plates of earth as if new mountains are being formed. The curling pages become waves as if on the surface of the sea, with a world of known and unknown, defined and undefined, creatures swimming below. Over time her curious touch altered this book of meanings in a way that, in terms of objectness, gives it more meaning.
