A Kind of Philosophy

A Kind of Philosophy, 2024-25,
accordion artist’s book, recycled handmade paper and re-laminated cover from Bertrand Russell’s A History of Western Philosophy

​

“A Kind of Philosophy” is inspired by recent efforts of US conservatives to attack existing forms of knowledge and rewrite history by politicizing facts and education.  In this piece a published copy of Bertrand Russell’s, “A History of Western Philosophy” has been rendered to pulped and reconstituted into an artist’s book with handmade paper full of glyphs and pictographs but no readable text.
