Molten glass was poured into bored-out holes in various found books, resulting in cast-cores which model the void left behind. The original samples of the pages which were bored out of the books are catalogued in a stack of file cabinets, they are the incomplete evidence of a much more complete story. These slices can be used to create a newer shared narrative.
