Frame Book, The
Paul Corio Photocopy, side-sewn 4 1/2 x 6 in It occurred to me while I was at art school that the best way to get people to look at my work was to make as many copies of it as I could as cheaply as possible. I made "Wolves in Cheap Clothing" on the little offset press in the photo department as my thesis project. Over the next few years I photocopied eight other titles, most of which I simply gave away. In 1994, "Ubu Rex" became the first book I made in which the production costs exceeded two-hundred and fifty dollars. // While the small edition book has acted as a vessel for my (somewhat) complete ideas, the sketchbook has always been a repository for fragments. In these diaries are stored drawings at various degrees of finish, tearsheets of my illustrations, experiments in various media, and bits and pieces that sometimes become more finished works. | ||||
