Sorted books

September 26, 2008 · Filed Under book art 

Vetti sent me a link to Nina Katchadourian’s sorted books work. They are essentially piles or clusters of books arranged so the titles can be read to make a story, poem, or perhaps satirical comment on the nature and meaning of life. Very clever.

It made me want to grab some books and try my hand at creating something. Most of my books are still in boxes after our termite-induced furniture shuffle, but among the library books on my shelf now are “The game”, “The indigo girls”, “Skin”, “Juicy writing”, “Baby love”, “Bog child”, and “Hazel’s phantasmagoria”. I feel like there’s something there, but I’m not sure if I want to find it.

    But we’d like you to find it. Why not indulge us?
