Artist’s Statement

This work is #4 of 10 in the Enlightenment Series of artists’ books, boxes and a wall piece.  The work follows a minimalist conceptual narrative form that tells a story about “lies,” in 5 pages. 

Lies that adults tell. Lies about how the eye and the camera sees.
It is not a true story about my difficulty in learning the English language.

It is, though, a story about my curiosity of chickens and eggs.
