The title Trans-Sister Radio was the driving force behind the creation of this piece. Working in the field of conservation, I felt the need to restore the book. Resisting the urge to alter it, I wanted it to remain intact so the story could be read. The original cover and inside pages had been damaged. Although the first few pages had been slashed, ironically, the curving cut seemed to echo the radio wave symbol found throughout the text block. The cover’s pastepaper was designed to convey short, twisting sounds carried by radio waves. I decided this piece deserved to have its own special housing, so I created a “radio” box slipcase.
