I Dare You
Made for Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here
ink, paper, linen thread, Wite-out, sandpaper

I Dare You is a hymn to each and every page, person, symbol, codex, mural, tapestry, scroll, carving and oral account throughout history that has been banned, shamed, destroyed or subverted. Each collaged image is a surviving piece of a work or a culture or a tradition whose destruction was attempted or achieved. Somehow, always, these pieces survive or are remade.
So, destroy this book. drown it. Question its legitimacy, relevancy, need. Strike a match and light this book aflame. This impetus to make and impart cannot be erased.
