I am interested in the aesthetic qualities of ancient manuscripts, the mystery of relics and questions of value. Can the mundane and ordinary acquire symbolic significance through a change in visual form? I have been exploring with words and objects, the ideas of value. Through an alteration of appearance, will a meaningless text or an old bone, recreate itself into another entity, one of worth and importance?
