One Thousand and One Steps. Cheryl Penn.

One Thousand and One Steps
No. 1 of an edition of intended 5 (only 3 materialized) digitally printed books.  Text from One Thousand and One Nights;
“Thou thoughtest well of the days when they went well with thee
and fearedst not the evil that destiny was bringing.
Thy nights were peaceful
and thou wast deceived by them
in the midst of their brightness cometh gloom.
Who is there to aid me in mine affliction
For my pain hath become intense
and my remedy is scarce procurable…

Let fortune do whatever it willeth
a decreed term is my invisible lot
to bear with cheerful mind
and as soon as its days have expired I die.


As the text wanders out the page, so she wandered through the pages.
