The Unwritten Story

2012 • Collaboration with Shelley Scott

The Unwritten Story was a natural marriage between Scott's woodworking process and Smith's bookmaking process. This piece deals with the viewer's interaction, addressing form and function. How does a box's function transform when it is permanently filled? How can a person understand a story without having to turn the pages?
