104 Shameful and Embarassing Incidents From My Life. Martin Wooley, 2007

Hand made book, wax, acetate, glass, wood and mould.


Martin made a book out of hand made paper. Into this he catalogued 104 embarrassing incidents, noting the time, place and date. These were so shameful that they could not be seen by anyone else and so he encased the book in wax. For further protection the book was the sealed in a glass-topped box. Tantalisingly, he records his methodology on a sheet of clear film that can be viewed through the glass without divulging specific events. He encouraged mould to grow on the wax.
