This is my first artist book. I began to explore the relationship of the feelings I had of isolation while wearing my Milwaukee brace for spinal curvature (Scoliosis) while growing up. These feelings felt like 'excess limbs' that I was carrying around with me, weighing me down both physically (like that metal and leather brace) and psychologically (feeling trapped). I wanted to explore the different meanings of what a 'limb' is. By using translucent vellum and acetate papers I could overlay images and text creating new ideas and further dissecting the meaning of those limbs. -- Artist's website
