Cleaning Eggs and Collecting Books [22 page accordion book], 2003, fully extended size, 13 3/4 X 252
Recycled book and acrylic on paper, stenciled English & Chinese text.
This book is a meditation on how, as a boy, I earned the money to purchase books by cleaning eggs. The pages echo the movement from dirty eggs to clean eggs - and the promise of egg-cleaning money to buy books.
