JULIE VERHOEVEN
WELL LEAFED
— I have taken this opportunity to ‘out’ a snap shot of my reference library, accumulated over about 25 years. I have made no effort to tidy or edit the selection. I hope this will relieve me of the guilt I feel when I take a magnifying glass to a photo in a magazine of someone, anyones bookcase in a magazine editorial. I am dead nosy and curious to know what unexpected surprises or cliches might be in evidence on their shelves.
It’s a rather sad, bad habit and I hope by exposing my shelves (or lack of shelving) in a totally unedited, unselfconscious mode I might feel less judgemental of others.
I take little, to no care of my books, but I reference them often and furiously. They do indeed exist in a state of disarray and it often involves less effort to go to the public library than attempt to dislodge a book from its book tower at my studio.
