Summary:
"Falling Shutters is a 16-piece Jacob's ladder. When this Victorian toy is held up and tipped, the wooden pieces seem to tumble over each other, bringing the back of each piece to the front. In this work, each side consists of a poem about falling shutters. The movement of the ladder is a visual enactment of the poems. Inside the ladder's box are directions (letterpress printed) for handling and an image of one side / one poem in its initial, reading position."--artist's statement from Vamp & Tramp.
