I'm turning into a bookworm. Or maybe a bookspider, weaving bookwebs. Or something. Anyway, I cornered Mike in the printmaking studio and begged him to teach me the accordion. Then, with magic tips from Leah, (secured from Jana) I was able to create a pretty rockin' libro with some b&w photos on the first try. I went on to do another for my photo project with photos I took from 1600 film to RC paper. Holla! I've got plans for a Fiorentine Trash book, and a book of S.H. (SH like ssshhhh, you'll find out what it stands for later), and other books highlighting treasure in the collection of my wunderkammer. Potentially a museum guidebook/brochure. I'ma gonna work on getting some drawing up in there roundabouts, too. Oh! I learned Friday to do gel medium transfers. It's a lot harder to get the paper off than with the fantastic sticker method highlighted in Laura's post.
I'm still museumy in the head. . . not sure what form exactly it will take, but I still want to explore building an actually space, which may also make reference to a larger collection which is implied.
Italian internet has a vendetta against flickr, but oddes are 2 to one that Sylva.Johnson has some photos to share.
We think that...
- CORE09
- Our own finitude must be prevalent in any enquiry we conduct into the infinite - if only because, given the paradoxes of thought about the infinite, it is clear that we are better able to confront the infinite through analogies and contrasts than head-on.
What we are seeking then is nothing less than an account of our own finitude, and of our relation to the infinite.
-- A.W. Moore, The Infinite
