Liz Mares - Totem Sculpture

Inspiration for the Library Box: I worked in libraries several times in my life and I always found them to be a very powerful and mysterious atmosphere. The people that visited and worked all seemed to be of a different kind of tribe and there was respect for the space that just came naturally. Today, I find libraries (and even books) to be of a declining breed, so that is why I designed my box as a kind of totem pole. Totems, to me, have always been about preservation; preserving heritage, culture and unity, so I wanted to create a box totem that signified strength to keep them alive. Favorite book from childhood: I had two favorite books – Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein and A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
