- W862113225 abstract "The project involved the sculpting of a 21 volume Oxford English Dictionary. It is probably the largest bookwork of its kind, containing 80,000 folds in its construction. The project addresses the relationship between the book as object and the role of the reader. By rendering the text illegible, the work becomes a purely physical manifestation of what can be said in English. Accompanying this is a typographic piece entitled ‘a dictionary story’ which also explores narrative and format but this time through written language. Combining concrete poetry and graphic design this work looks to address new ways of engaging with typography. As readers, our relationship with text is often a linear experience of patiently following a narrative that has been set by the author. Typography is designed with that purpose in mind. The Modernist notion of typography as a ‘transparent’ conduit for the author’s meaning began to be challenged in the 1980’s and 1990’s by typographers using digital technology to blur, distress and layer type and to generally reduce its legibility. It is in this field that most of my work now takes place. The most comfortable term I have found for this is ‘duality of texts', by which I mean the exposing of the cognitive process we employ to understand language. This can be understood in the academic canon in such fields as semiotics and onomastics, but rarely is it explored visually in the applied arts. The outcome of the project was to produce two artworks (an edition book and sculpture) that directly explore these issues. These were then placed in the fields that would be of most benefit – graphic design, artist’s books (contemporary art) and poetry. This was done through publication, exhibition and lectures." @default.
