My attempt was to take more of a current and metaphoric approach to the destruction of a civilization. All images are mine, or borrowed from family members, except for 1 that I found online. As for the page that is missing an image, I know what I want to place there, but I have not had the time yet to go there and take it.
I always love your edgy style that you cannot seem to help to evoke into your books. I also admire the use of the metaphor in this current book. My only wish is that I could have experienced the destruction before the last page. In other words, it would have been good to have a gradual lead-in to the industrial destruction. In this book the industrial destruction seems like the punch line, but I wish it would have felt like an "oh no, this is happening" before the very end of the book.
Dear Corine, I had similar thoughts as well. I think the first "bull" image, the second to last image with the "girl in modern day clothes in the background" and the abrupt "industrial cloud" images need to be resolved so that they correlate creating a more cohesive story line.
I would also look at various ways of "creating space to put my text in." The fading about half the page into black is one way. What other ways would there be?
Your work is always so striking. I do love that you use the same colors throughout but I feel like there should be a more gradual timeline through the past into the present. I did the the nature, but if you decide to keep the smoke clouds at the end of the book, maybe show the nature images as getting corrupt over time?

ReplyDeleteI will definitely take that into consideration, I did not think of that.
