When thinking about my exhibition and how I was going to show the books I have made, I started thinking about what it was that made me want to change books and make them come to life. it was the idea of imagination, and how reading books can make u conjur up sights, smells and sounds all from the story on the page. This idea of childhood imagination made me think about who would read the books, and the books that I have are all about adventure and strange creatures, and I could just imagin a little boy from the past reading them, a sort of real life peter pan, living through his books and bringing them to life with his imagination. This has lead me to the idea of doing an istallation of his bed-side table, for this I thought about Tracey Emin's "Unmade bed" I think this would be a good idea to follow, but including the veiwer to participate in the piece by picking the books up and looking at them to see what they do.
