Collage Books

These six books explore how combinations of images and/or text affect how we read the resulting whole image.

Book One combines images from a car seat manufacturer with fragments of life drawings of a seated model.

Book Two uses images and phrases from magazines.

Book Three juxtaposes images from a furniture catalogue and randomly chosen phrases from a novel.

Book Four uses diagrams from a technical manual and captions chosen at random from a novel.

Book Five overlays products from a paint catalogue with drawings which trace the spaces between the words listing the properties of the content of each tin.

Book Six contains five poems generated from randomly chosen words from novels.
