Breakdowns (Part 2)

 

Breakdowns

Deja Vu

I've been working with this antique zine for the past couple weeks. I cut through pages in a previous version, but for this version, I started to focus on text. I have a couple versions I've been playing with, one with captions that are polite and one I'd like to think is more obnoxious. This is where I'm at so far, but I'd like to explore the language, and perhaps the breakdown of it.

I started playing more with these numbers and the words to use as graphic elements on the page.Here's some of the other numbers.

 

Antique Store Brain

I started making a zine from the antique store images. I wanted to be able to use these in some way. I also like cutting through books. In terms of memory, there's an overlap between everything. I don't remember everything that was in the store, nor do I remember where it was in the store. I just remember it all existing in this space. As I continue down this route, I'll be making some variations on this book, which I will post as I go.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monster Map

I started taking my map drawings and turning them into digital pieces. I'd like to clean these up, but for the time being, I wanted to experiment with the first shapes I had made. Each shape comes from the outlines of one of my remembered paths. They are overlapped in the order in which they occurred (so the first one is on the bottom, the second one on top of that, etc etc.) I see this as a new space for my memories to interact. They overlap one another; they are malleable; they can be forgotten and vanish completely. Below are some of my experiments:
