Other Information
from the 'codex incendium' (burning books) series The works in the series were created from unwanted Funk & Wagnall encyclopaedias destined for landfill. These volumes were sourced at Rotary book sale in Bega - Rotary use proceeds from the sale of donated books to fund numerous charitable projects including purchasing educational material for students in overseas countries in need - which is an integral aspect of the 'codex incendium' series. The piece existed as a performative sculpture for a few hours and was documented in digital form - as stills and HD video.
