Abstraction Diary has no true beginning or end. It is meant to be viewed standing over it looking down or walking around it. There is no inside or outside to Abstraction Diary. It is an integrated book of abstractions, pages of nameless shapes and lines that represent raw emotions. There is a lack of privacy, a lack of intimacy in this book form. The artist is exposing her sensuality without the shelter of a cover.
