"Shedding Light explores the book as a tactile object in the extreme. Taking away the book's usual visual narrative clues, the seeing reader is left with little traditional visual information with which to decode the presented 'text', but instead is faced with a Braille text implicitly inviting them to feel the narrative. A 'key' is provided in the form of a visual Braille alphabet card to assist readers who are curious to know what is hidden from view. The solution for the seeing reader is to allow light to be cast upon and through the page and in so doing illuminate a hidden text that is printed on the underside of the page that deciphers the Braille. "
