Alongside the other investigations I have been working on I have been gradually putting together a book reconstruction; the donor being 'The ABC of Gardening' from 1946, the regenerated content coming from 'random' scraps of text and images left over from collages and other work developed for the 'Babel' brief. There is no intention to build a narrative here but an opportunity to assemble loosely connected images with the statements and words cut from the 'Library of Babel' text to explore the potential outcome of the whole book.
As mentioned in a previous post, whilst the image and text building has been going well, the bulk resulting from the folding of pages - to achieve the hexagonal effect - and the addition of image and text paste up has caused the individual book section s to swell and I now have to reconsider ways in which I rebind and cover the resulting book. Not so easy to calculate with already used and pasted paper which makes each page irregular. More when progress is made... for now some images above of some of the spreads.
