Learning to Fly

  • Words Take Shape
  • Suit­case, paint­ed cast paper, seed pods, caning

An old suit­case becomes a book, its four pages incised with one word: P/AS/SAG/E (Pas­sage). Long ele­gant seed pods line one of the inner sides of the case and we are left won­der­ing about the ambi­gu­i­ty of words. What kind of pas­sage” is being inferred here? Are we address­ing a pas­sage of time? of trav­el? of lit­er­a­ture? or some­thing more profound?
