This piece was made in reaction to one of the most famous cliffhanger murder mysteries ever conceived. Penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in serial installments, The Mystery of Edwin Drood was never actually completed due to the untimely death of its author on the cusp of its final chapters. Since its publication as an incomplete book, societies of ‘Droodians’ – groups of people who study the illustrations and Conan Doyle’s somewhat cryptic notes for the book, constructing and arguing for a variety of endings – have formed. I viewed my constructed ‘secret door’ book, a somewhat non-descript edition, as the prized piece of a higher-up in one of these fantastic Droodian societies. I imagine him proudly displaying the piece to the confusion of many, while saving its hidden treasure – the ‘actual’ ending – for times when, perhaps, he’s had one too many brandies and lets slip the fact that he really knows who did it, and how the story was supposed to end. My imagination uses the book-as-object, constructing involved and mystery-shrouded plots of thievery - or even murder! - at the hands of a desperate Droodian who hears the secret and wants the prize for himself. I imagine dark Victorian landscapes, deceptively plaintive country parsonages, and dank crypts holding sinister evidence, echoing the beautiful state of mind evoked by Conan Doyle in Drood, as well as the adventures of his serial sleuther, Sherlock Holmes.

I'm all about Turning Stuff Into Other Stuff. Or as it's commonly known, upcycling. I hate throwing things away. The weirder, the better. When I was in college and would come home to my parents' house for the weekend, I would root through the junk in the basement and attic for stuff to upcycle, and…

The coming of LEDs put a big crimp in their business, but at that time (70's) LEDs weren't bright enough to replace them.
