Circumfessional Hymenal Sea (Portrait of Jacques Derrida)
2006
books, paper, wood, silver-point, paint
77 x 77 x 62 inches
An ivory tower to leap from and into.
The image of this work originated in a dream and immediately made sense of Derrida’s quip that he had read only four books out of his entire library. The sea is comprised of pages from books.
