After the making of my 1st book I soon found myself surrounded by a mountain of books. I needed to think about new ways in which to house them, as I don’t think that the studio floor was practical for everyone else, so I soon decided on shelves.
I wanted to show all the books off individually but keep the feeling of unity, like they are part of something bigger. I wanted to entice the viewers when they looked up at the books on the shelves, as if they were in a library and could feel comfortable, pulling a book down and opening them up. I don’t like the idea that books are precious objects never to be touched, my work needs to be interacted with.
After a long time of trying to work out the order in which I felt worked best. This is what I came up with. I feel that each book stands out yet complements the one next to it or below it.
