About this ebook
WRITRESS, the brief edition, is based on a handmade artist’s book by Jan Camp, in which painted, sewn, taped and transparent pages are bound in an archival box. The Writress project is the foundation for a complete book of memoirs—and maybe a novel. Once upon a time there was a Young Woman who lived in a near-sighted tunnel.
