About this work

This is an open book with a torn red edge on the left page. The right page has a loose photo of a city street with a hot-air balloon floating above buildings. The word "spell" is written in red ink in a wobbly, handwritten style, and the photo is taped in place. The book mixes torn paper, ink, and pasted images—like a scrapbook made by an artist. The torn edge and messy handwriting feel personal and rough. Look up Rosemary Mayer next to see more of her mixed-media work.
