13 is a thirteen page accordian fold book created with archival ink-jet prints, produced by Colleen Kiely. The text is an excerpt from "In Blackwater Woods" by Mary Oliver and reads: To live/in this world/you must be able/to do three things:/to love/what is mortal;/to hold it/against your bones/knowing/your own life/depends on it;/and, when the time comes/to let it go,/to let it go.
