The work is very strong and cohesive. The way of presenting and documenting my work is very good.
Embracing simplicity. Simple ideas – Strong and clever messages. Balance.
My position of using diagrams (the simplest forms and elements like shapes, lines, and arrows) to explore or make a story that is personal (or not) is very interesting. It’s preferable and stronger than the use of images which narrows down the imagination and interpretation of the reader.
I need to focus now on the final piece which is the artist’s book and find the best possible way to connect all the publications together. What is the relationship between them? How does one interact with the other? The container/form is very important. I have to be aware of not losing the thought process.
I can use maybe the binding methods (thread, band) to connect the publications.
Not using the box as just a container that contains different books. But using the box as a BOOK with different smaller editions. Control the narrative, leading someone through the narrative.
Which is the intention behind the artist’s book? (why)
Rationale, relationship between elements.
Conntecting points; Similar topics and use of the elements, different execution and materials (purpose).
Size of the publications, choice of papers, binding, etc., are important decisions as well as the way are placed in the box or the stack, etc.
Reader Experience
Is there a specific way/order for the reader to go through it, or will it be random?
