CONCEPT FOR BOTH MATERIAL AND ELECTRONIC VERSIONS OF “RIVER OF SHADOWS”:
BODY ACTS AS OPERATOR (ELECTRONIC) AS WELL AS MACHINE (MATERIAL VERSION)
FONT CREATED FOR BOOK, BASED OFF OF CARTER’S “WALKER TYPEFACE”
MATERIAL VERSION OF BOOK IS CREATED AS IF THE BODY WERE A MACHINE. TEXT IS DESIGNED ON A COMPUTER, BUT PRINTING METHOD IS DONE BY HAND. PAPER IS TREATED BY HAND TO BECOME PHOTOSENSITIVE. HAND BOUND.
18” x 22” Watercolour Paper treated to produce Cyanotypes when developed
ELECTRONIC VERSION IS CREATED TO USE THE BOOK AS AN OPERATOR. WHILE VISUALLY SIMILAR, THE TEXT INCLUDES A SYNTHESIZED RECORDING OF THE PAGE, AS WELL AS COMMENTARY.
