Raising Goliath

A unique installation of books contained within a huge steel framed case. The secondhand books were collected by the artist with subject matter connected to American history. Each book was titled across the spine with JET or EBONY, and a shortened version of the books’ actual title running vertically down the spine. Specific colours of bookcloth were used to create the overall design.
