FROM JAMES JEAN As the bookworm crawls over the spine and peers over the headband, the Bibliophile reads beneath a makeshift shelter. The pages become armor against the external world, while a battlefield of words take shape within. The vast library teems with life as characters burst forth from the bindings. The covers gleam with numerous layered foils, pressed into delicate relief. Having devoured countless volumes, the worm transforms into a moth - forever embossed in paper.
