Sky
Carinna Parraman
2001
cut, printed bookwork
edition of 20
[continued from "Sun Sand Sea"] Although "Sky" is a departure from my interest in looking at the ground, I wanted to make a bookwork that was a continuation of "Sun Sand Sea". Many Britons have a preoccupation with the weather, and our changeable weather patterns offer something of interest every day. // On looking through my photographs the sky has dominated many of my subjects. The images of the sky are backed with foil that, as it moves, reflects the surroundings. These books are part of my interest in a modular method of working that is fixed in a grid format. Repeatable printed images are cut into 5cm squares, which according to a random number generator are arranged in a grid format. // Duchamp described chance as a method for 'combating logical reality'.
