I enjoyed Annette Messager’s use of pantyhose in her sculpture. When considering my artist book I could not keep the idea of pantyhose out of my mind. The basis for my book is the idea of family: the difficulties, problems, love, hate, death, etc. Pantyhose are made to help hide any imperfections like blemishes, bruises, and even scars. I thought about my family and other families and how we all try to hide the imperfections within our family from the rest of the world. Therefore, I covered my book with pantyhose, included a doll (innocence, growth), and then I painted it with white acrylic paint. A viewer would have to cut open the pantyhose to view the inside, personal pages.
