i remember reading somewhere once how the book as an object has a lot of human descriptors: it has a head, a foot, spine, left side, right side, it has thoughts and opinions...and that led to the use of (adam) as the title, in turn also referring to a'dam, hebrew for 'earth', hence the sand. this in turn led me to reflect on how the same elements comprise everything in the known universe. you can quote either job or moby here, but the earth we walk on and the stars in the heavens both come from the same place and are made of the same stuff. more to come.

Really looking forward to seeing the rest...nice beginning.
thanks - it turned out well even though i felt pretty rusty while working on it. luckily, the other six aren't at the same level of completion so i can still go back and make the necessary changes for the entire piece. hence, "a prototype". at least aden thinks it's cool -- he wants one for himself.
Excellent. Is this a new bit of text? It's familiar, but it really goes with this lightbook/artbox.
it is a new piece of text, but it is supposed to sound familiar...the main point is how it connects/ opens up the image/ object
