Decided to make some books ready for experiments. Thinking about density, time, the act of drawing. How can the books link to the act, become performative objects for and of drawing?

A small but lengthy book. I have yet to measure any of them but they were all made to be uncomfortable to read or handle.

The tactility of this book really thrilled me. I found some off cuts of heavyweight drawing paper to use for the covers. The rest of the papers are sugar, craft or cartridge so although the length and the varying shapes of the pages make the book unwieldy it has a strength to it.

The book above is made with preused layout papers. Dependent on what it is filled with it should give a layered effect.

A book of found papers

The largest book I could make with materials available. A little over A3 in size, cardboard to hold the heavy papers together.

This book has been filled. It was time consuming and consumed a part of me in the process. The time and density is reflected in the patterna dnt he layers of graphite that line its pages.
