Another sucessful Conceptual Work from Marie In Japan.
Most of the time we think of books as modular entities. Neat pages, filled with images and text. Legible text, a language system encased. When one is confronted with shadow writing, it needs another sort of book then, not so?
A book where the pagination is as different as the contents within. The page sizes not following expected conventions. Marie manages all this and more with this booklet I received.
A writing format with loops and swirls, made of threads - but still following the symmetry of text. Hinting at hidden meaning, inviting the viewer the wonder at intention and meaning, even though the nature of the work is experimental. I have a very clear image of Marie making this particular work for some reason, in her home in Japan. The note I always look forward to - today - real writing housed with asemic writing.
That notebook Marie - its a treasure I bet!! AND - I think this is a world premiere of hand sewn text in a book - and its mine :-) - This FAB FAB is mine!!!
Comment
Yes, you have the sewing, which is utilitarian and perhaps folkart, and you're connecting that to the concept of page or canvas. It's very intriguing.
With DW, I just wanted to prepare you for the inevitable "dumbing down" of textile asemics to the lowest common denominator - probably Grigori will be mailing his underwear before it's over. I told DW to keep his pants on.
