Eric's entry into Carol's book

BONJOUR: what moves me?

 

Well, I guess the answer to the question Carol poses to us, I have tried to answer with the entry, spelled out in rubber stamps. 

MY EYES MOVE ME.

So one of the first things that struck me was how many pages there were in Carol's book. We only have 8 or so people making entries in this rotation, so therefore I challenged myself to use as many as I felt like. I challenge you after me to do the same!

I took this book as a chance to play, as I usually do. I've kept an optically jarring silkscreen in the studio, printed on mylar, then used as a stencil and a proofing paper for some letterpress stamping for the word BONJOUR. This provided the cover sheets for the contents of my entry, which I frankly didn't even remember to count how many pages it included in its accordeon. 





I first found myself thowing away the little paper bits leftover after one tears out pages from a spiral bound book... then I decided to use those as the main character in a stapled-10 page fold out made from old woodblock printed paper. They became stencils, for spraypainting onto sheets torn out from the book, then they also beame elements I wove/ stapled into the fold out. 

It was really fun to work on this project, who knows how it will advance......

Can you dig it?!?
