To start my experimentation I turned to my mind map for a point of interest, settling on the hidden potential of books.<\/span><\/p>\n

We all have books lying around, stacked up on our bedside table, yet most of us have not explored these book. We accept them at face value. <\/span><\/p>\n

With this thought in mind, I decided create a surprise within a book. With only the people who open the book being able to figure out its secret. <\/span><\/p>\n

I started by carving out a space in the book, as I pulled out each page I was intrigued by the texture of the paper, the thickness, and the lack of meaning the words seemed to have once I had pulled them out of their context. <\/span><\/p>\n

This gave me an idea, what if I juxtaposed the idea of reading a book with an activity such as watching Netflix. I tried this and as I photographed the book, I realised that I had a stack of loose pages left over. Most had ragged edges, were misshaped and covered in words. What could I do with these?<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping with the thought of tsundoku, I decided to shred some of the paper and create a nest of words. This honed back to the idea of how we fill our homes with books, creating a \u2018nest\u2019 for ourselves that is filled with potential. <\/span><\/p>\n

In keeping with this I explored the different uses of paper, what can be made – this led me to making a series of paper cranes.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using a series of pages that I\u2019d cut out, I noticed the story had little meaning to me now. I decided to mind a message within the pages that made sense to me. In fining this message \u2018Good books don\u2019t give up all their secrets at once\u2019 – Stephen King<\/span><\/p>\n

By highlighting these words in hidden ink, another layer is added to the pages – this goes back to the initial concept of hidden potential within books we collect but don\u2019t read.<\/span><\/p>\n
