"Val de la loire" - drawings, collage, typewriter, pamphlet stitch Louise has also been working on an altered book, featuring the short story Bernice by Edgar Allen Poe. One of the main themes of the story is Monomania. To depict this she has made all the "the;s" bold to convey monomaniac behaviour.
