Source Update (Book)
For my artists' book, I will explore the process of mass production. My book will express the construction of a cheeseburger. Each page will depict a single ingredient (or layer) of the sandwich. Like an assembly line, the reader will turn each page and be presented with the next layer or step in the process of building the cheeseburger. The first page will be an image of the top bun, the second page, an image of pickles, the third page, an image of bacon. Then cheese, and a succession of hamburger patties (etc.). More pages, more ingredients. The images will be printed on graph paper (or perhaps foam-board)- the grid used as a symbol of control, order, routine and predictability. The book itself will be very large, about 3'x3'. I want it to be too big for a book shelf and too big for a coffee table. The size of the book will require two hands to read and hopefully slow the process of reading its contents.
