Breaking Convention-Adina
Sadly enough, the perfect book I have in mind, I can't find any images to supply. But the book is The Collective Writings of Joe Brainard and it reminds me of the book Derek brought in on Tuesday, as the book is all over the place. What I like about this book is its inconsistencies with structure. It is definitely a visual book that compliments the works featured within the book as a whole. It opens with Brainard's well-known piece I Remember, in the same linear structure in which the story is formatted in the original book. As the book progresses, they are drawing, letters, etc shaped on the page the way the artist created them. I thought this was pretty impressive and engaging and of course different!
