The Ancient Mariner faced an inner struggle over the crimes he committed, understood his actions, and performed his penance, but when will we acknowledge and take responsibility for ours? 

The starting point was a Takuhon print of a stopcock cover. The main body of the book is cupcycled paper made into paste papers. Each paste paper pattern is different and were made with expired credit cards and various plastic detritus reclaimed from landfill. The text and image were manipulated and created by laser cutting and engraving. The impact of process and production leaves its mark. The book reads as a front-facing concertina structure.
