Starting to carve

While the idea of carving is a fun one to be smart about the carving makes it very nerve racking. With so many ideas it was hard to choose one path.

Fortunatly I was able to create a new narative of the book. Starting with a void to capture a grouping of words which brings you to pages of signifigant lines and drawings all landing on a new void to transport you to new words. The objective is to cut through all the extra FLW put in the book and pull out real meanings to his words.

The carving is still to be read as a book but in a new way.

    1. Yes somewhat like the book we were talking about yesterday. As for images im only keeping a few that can work with the horizonality of the lines of text. It will be through the entire book but many pages will just have voids through it.
