Levels and Degrees of Light

Catalog Number: 
Book, Fuller, Alex
Date: 
2011*
Abstract: 
We started by type setting some of our favorite jazz album titles. Then we broke down the letterforms into shapes. We took the shapes and began composing them across spreads. The result is a musically-inspired narrative. One that ebbs and flows from page to page. The subtle tints, lines and textures weave together a story that only the reader may interpret. ** This copy is number 67 out of 100.
