Unidentified Flying Object Song
No full textUnidentified Found Object Song is a 16-page bound book housed in a drop spine book enclosure by AB Gorham. The covers feature a protruding shape covered in book cloth that reminds viewers of flying saucers or other unidentified flying objects. The book’s visuals vary from solid saturated colorful shapes to soft gradients. The text in UFO Song is fragmented and lyrical, contributing to the book’s unknown and intriguing nature. The text draws on written experiences of aliens in encounters and creates a playful space where the reader can reflect upon the idea of truth and understanding. It is through these written experiences, like the ones described throughout UFO research and within books like Allen Hynek\u27s \u27Project Blue Book\u27, that Unidentified Found Object Song is able to create the book\u27s enchanting atmosphere. The text and visuals come together to create a mysterious and dreamlike reading experience.https://scholarship.rollins.edu/book_arts/1165/thumbnail.jp
These Days
No full textThese Days is a hardcover book that, when opened, resembles a game board. Around the border are squares containing significant words that describe emotions and things that offer comfort. On the inside of the cover is an introduction that describes the effects of the consistent bombardment of bad news in the media on the author’s lifestyle; she compares her life to a board game, the onslaught of emotions counteracted with acts of self-care to offer herself comfort from the anxiety. A smaller pamphlet attached to the inside contains a collage of drawings, paint, photocopies, and images overlaid with news headlines that evoke anxiety and concern for our country.
Life seems lived as a game, dodging the continual onslaught of bad news lobbed from every possible direction. My coping mechanisms have kept me from driving my car off the Fremont Bridge. I look for insight or laughter as I scan the internet for cozy pajamas to wear as I binge-watch ‘Cheers’ or ‘The Office’. I turn to astrology, psychic counseling, open random books searching for hope in everything. Before burying my head in the sand. — Barbara Tetenbaumhttps://scholarship.rollins.edu/book_arts/1134/thumbnail.jp
