As Mr. F and I travel, we find ourselves not only in a different town but a different home every few months.  Some rentals are more furnished than others but we love the ones that have a small library of books.  You can tell so much about a person from the books they read!  In this series of acrylic paintings, artist Jordan Buschur uses collections of books to give the viewer clues into the stories behind them.

Some titles call out to us, some are left intentionally blank.  If you’re a reader like me, you can recount certain eras of your life by the books you were reading– I went through a heavy Jane Austen phase in my single days and now find myself more often devouring artist biographies.  Stacks of books can become stacks of time and moments, reminding us of the person we were then, who we were striving to be, perhaps who we were able to overcome.
