Much like 6 PAGES FROM LITERATURE 1, this explores discovery through the juxtaposition of text and image from the authors above. The one page text is pulled from the book and the images used are the covers from these books. These are layered on top of one another. I cut out parts of these pages to reveal bits of what is underneath to provoke the interest within the viewer allowing them to wonder what is next.
Through this process of peeling, they engage in the act of discovery.
