This transformed book was created incrementally during my artist residency, "Rapunzel in the Library," at Queens College Art Center, Queens, NY 2011-2012. Two exhibitions exploring the story of Rapunzel resulted, a solo exhibition followed by a group exhibition. This book is a record of research and ruminations on, "Rapunzel's hair [as] her means of self assertion and a vehicle for deeper understanding."
