From the artist: 

"Secret Garden (Waterville) is an exhibition in the stacks of the Waterville Public Library. It is composed of painted wooden sculptures of the following books:

 "The subject matter of the books concerns the landscape and/or natural forms. The painted books are presented on the library shelves, in place of the originals.

"In order to access the exhibition, viewers must mimic the analogue process of searching/looking up a library book using card catalog boxes and finding aides that have been put together specifically for this exhibition. In this exhibition I have created trompe l’oeil objects, but I believe I’ve created a trompe l’oeil experience/activity as well. I want to engage the viewer in the activity of looking up and finding these books, as well as to see the library itself as a kind of landscape, with these painted objects referencing the larger natural landscape, planted as seeds."
