light, contour, & exciting the cell
It was surprising to find that translucent ink and reflective paper flipped white & shadow tones depending on the angle of light. This coincided with readings on visual awareness and spatial perception, and led to an exploration in how light reveals, suggests, and changes what we notice in our surroundings and how we interact with space. I later stumbled upon vintage pocket atlases and was drawn to their authoritative proclamations on being the ‘most accurate’ and ‘complete’ documentations of ‘the known world.’ My own ‘pocket editions’ followed, with each book being a unique and highly varied collection of ‘definitive’ observations made solely due to impermanent, changing light.
