The Crimson Giant and The Tower of Babel
Dear Fellow Collaborators,
This project we are embarking on is an organic process. Please do not stress about time limits, the use of a particular style etc. The greatness of this work is going to be the diversity of voices, the differing methodologies and artistic styles and the diverse interpretations of the
title. The broad idea behind the book is the dissemination of
language/signs and symbols. Your interpretation of that theme will be
different to mine – do not fret – just go for it. The book is not a story, it is an artist’s
book which carries some elements of narration (should you wish), but is
essentially the outworking of ideas.
STEP ONE:
I have sent you (not all of you have received it as yet) section one of the book. My request to you is that you send section two to me.
The subject matter (as pertinent to the title and theme) is up to you,
I just ask that you keep to the same format so that the book can be bound. This is a sheet of A4 paper folded
lengthwise.
STEP TWO
Post me your section two, make a copy for yourself and for the other artists who are participating in this collaboration. Participating artists are: De Villo Sloan, Bifidus Jones, Karen Champlin, Jen Staggs, Erni Barr, Librarian on the Loose, and Marie. I understand that there will be lag from some of the other artists – I promise
NOT from me! I suggest that you post your section immediately it is complete to all the other artists. If you don’t hear from them after that, wrap them over the knuckles on IUOMA!! This project will be relatively easy to follow on IUOMA – perhaps we could all add blogs called THE CRIMSON GIANT once we get/send work so we know where to look, although for ease of reference we keep coming back here??. I personally am going to collate all these blogs to make ANOTHER book about the process of long distance collaborative work.
STEP THREE
As I get/send the various sections I will send binding instructions with each of my mailings. That way you will be able to bind your own books.
Depending on the works received, the instructions may change and this will in all likelyhood be a COMPLEX binding (a few binding methods in one book)
PLEASE add your suggestions, comments recommendations etc – this is a participative project. I appreciate your willingness in this regard, admire your courage in tackling an
out-the-box- project , your generosity of spirit in sending ‘free’ artwork and
CANT WAIT to see where all this is going to lead. xxx
