Abbie Read art installation

I have been creating this wall installation since 2010. Its title is Library and it currently consists of eleven panels and is made up of many (over 150 at this point) individual book-like boxes that house artifacts, curiosities, my own art and other small constructions. I am drawn to the stained and abused surfaces of old and discarded objects, the stuff of previous lives and times and the rustier, the more ancient looking the better. Each individual piece is constructed by hand.
