About the Item
Hardbound books in black, orange and yellow are stacked with magazines and soft cover books. In a surreal shift of scale bright orange construction ladders are leaned against the books, giving the impression that the books are either very large, or the ladders are very small. This conceptual watercolor illustrates the quest for knowledge and rise of the importance of printed literature.
