MA[RGINS]
Margin: a space between spine and text. Ma: the Japanese concept of negative space. The context is torn away leaving the margins to stand on their own terms, perhaps stripping them of meaning. What is left? A blank book; a sculptural exploration of redundancy or emptiness; suggestive of loss, censorship, yet a meditation on the value inherent in the overlooked spaces of the page.
