Intro:
The last 2 weeks have predominately been concerned with bringing the project into a cohesive stage, with a somewhat formalised physical object ready for the MAI 140 deadline.
Although I am at this stage satisfied with the outcome, this project has the potential to expand beyond August 12th. I feel that a retrospective look at the relationship between material and narrative would be beneficial. This is because there are stages to this project, due to formatting and getting it to a book-ready stage, that potentially distract from the original process.
Stepping back from the physical tasks and allowing breathing space to ensure it is reaching my original intentions will possibly render new insights into its next edition. The unpredictable nature of risograph printing may create unexpected results and also factor into this development process.
I intend to risograph print early in Week 10 with a variety of blue + white papers, to see which works best for the atmosphere and aesthetic, with the intention of laser cutting at the end of the week with my favoured pages.
