Another Cakes and Ales

I brought some torn pages with me when I traveled. Here are some pages from "Cakes and Ales" but done quite differently. Traveling limits me to carry fewer items. I usually just bring pens and book pages.

Cakes and Ale

I don’t exactly remember when I started working on this book. It’s been a long time for sure. I would pick up pages from this book here and now, and paint over and cut some words. These photos were taken in the studio at the Women’s Studies Research Center at Brandeis University when I was an artist in residence in 2013. I guess I'm not done with these. For now, they're stored in a box waiting for me to revisit them sometime.

The book pages are from Cakes and Ale, or, The Skeleton in the Cupboard (1930), a novel by the British author W. Somerset Maugham.
