Creative Access Description

A colour portrait image of a 16-foot-high column of books installed in a gallery space with white walls, cement floors and a glass window wall at the back. The column is made up of stacked books with fake flowers coming out of the stack, some scattered in between the stack, some lining the corner edges, and some sticking out at the top. At the bottom of the column, there are more stacked books with white paper flowers laid around and on top of them. Under the books, there are circular mirrors peeking out the edges with a couple of paper turtles in the corners. There are also copper crutches positioned upright surrounding the column with clusters of colourful fake paper flowers affixed to them. The window wall behind the column is covered with images of stacked books and colourful sticky notes and tabs, some tabs are arranged in undulating lines.
