The book on the pedestal is titled "Between These Worlds". It forms a dual artist statement, printed in a tête-bêche style (one statement in one direction, the other backward and meeting in the middle). On a shelf, one doesn't know which statement one may start with. This is important as I have made 30 of these books, to be donated to libraries in both academic institutions and churches.
The statements make up a critique of both the church and the academic world for not doing their part to bridge the gap evident between them - for the church, the drive to aid humanity by imaging a better world, for the academic, the ignorance with which the "Ivory Tower" distances itself from the real issues of existence.
