I art directed and designed the book for 5x7 books. Buy it here. Debbie's photos attempt to capture objects at their moments of greatest clarity: In certain light, at a certain time of day, in a certain place. The method is to wander and notice. Moments of quiet strangeness, patterns of light and shadow, minute-by-minute surprises, changes that don’t happen, something askew, something exactly in place, natural and artificial phenomena, are all sources of inspiration, and the subjects for her work. - Offset printed - Black interior with green cover - First edition of 250 - 32 pages + cover - 5x7 inches http://www.alexfuller.com/Collections http://www.alexfuller.com/following/alexfuller.com/Collections Wed, 23 Nov 2011 20:01:47 +0000 alexfuller.com 2354614 <img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_1_800.jpg" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_1_o.jpg" data-mid="11832540" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_2_800.jpg" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_2_o.jpg" data-mid="11832542" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collections_800.jpg" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collections_o.jpg" data-mid="12367190" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_3_800.jpg" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_3_o.jpg" data-mid="11832543" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_4_800.jpg" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/collect_4_o.jpg" data-mid="11832801" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/graph_1_800.gif" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/graph_1_o.gif" data-mid="11832571" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/graph-stack_800.gif" width="800" height="800" width_o="800" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload2.cargocollective.com/1/4/143427/2354614/graph-stack_o.gif" data-mid="15764227" border="0" align="left"/> Collections This past summer The Post Family designed a show about collecting simply called, "Collections." We curated 213 jars of individual collections both small and large, infinitely significant and border-line garbage. Priced accordingly. We also created personal projects based on our interpretations of the theme. I love collecting paper so I decided to create something that i wish had in my collection. Giant square graph paper. Why has no one ever made giant square graph paper?
