"Worn and weathered through age and use, every detail tells a story of the book's history. An Archive of Time: A Life Lived in the Boston Athenaeum explores the open-shelf collection in the Boston Athenæum- bringing attention to the tears, folds, broken spines, and cobwebs that map the surfaces of the books. This project highlights and celebrates these details instead of shunning them as imperfections... This miniature library houses three volumes of books with each volume containing 50 photographic prints, an essay, and artist statement."--statement from artist's website accessed May 16, 2022.
