Books embody ideas, stories and characters. In this large photograph, the form of the physical book appears to have come to life as if it had absorbed some of its contents. These frayed, well-read volumes contain the work of Gertrude Stein, the Oakland-born author and art collector, famed for her relatively open gay identity and lines like “there is no there there.”
