Artist’s Books

Here are two of my three book arts projects:

1. Altered Book

I took the book An Outline of Psychoanalysis and turned it into a book called Outline Analysis:


Here is the cover.


I’m skipping the first page because I’m unhappy with it. Here is page 2, in the chapter on dreams. The text says:
When the important dramatization brought me insight
the effect took the dream and then I said goodbye.
my legs given the the dream but when down he died.
fatalistic love
the deeper death spoken which movements and
exploring the long past the modern past.


In the chapter called “The Search for Glory”: two plastic surgery diagrams. The text says:
There is no observable change
toward the ideal.


Last page, chapter called “Effects of Derogatory Attitude Towards Female Sexuality.” I carved in a diagram of a cow with arrows pointing to the locations of its by-products. Text says:
We are people’s minds and thus become some objectionable product.


2. Two Words

This is a copier book made in an edition of 18. The cover folds out to reveal the book; the book then folds out in a sort of folded-quilt pattern, juxtaposing these faces with couplets.

I have two copies left from this edition (numbers 17 and 18). The first two bloggers to ask for them will get them mailed to their home at no charge.
