MA Summer School for Artist teachers at Baltic

Using the Baltic library point for an artwork, materials were restricted to a photocopier and paper with a few found objects. It was a challenge to create something that considered both the space of the bookshelves and the image on a page that was randomly generated by a dice game.

I was intrigued by the text on the page and the Jeff Wall photograph that was my random selection. I used the photocopier to reproduce the image and weave together the image and text. Further photocopies of the resulting structure generated various compositions. I selected three compartments at the back of the library to site my construction, creating peepholes and weaving the whole together with a ticker-tape of text from the book itself.

I hoped to explore the notion of text and image being interlinked drawing the viewer into a new world of the imagination.
