This site is designed to be an internet
version of a set two of small books I made in 2010. I
never could officially decide on names for them, beyond
"Volume 1" and "Volume 2", but "Brown Vol. 1" and "Brown
Vol. 2" (as the titles might possibly be interpreted
from the home page) serve as good choices, since the
books consist of images culled from photographs that I
took while attending Brown University. Some are actual
images of the campus, but the majority come from
photographs taken on walks around the greater Providence
area. |

The images in the book are printed on
organza fabric, inset into 24lb paper. Since organza is
sheer, I interleaved the image pages with blank pages,
so that each image can be seen by itself, without the
subsequent image showing through. The sheerness of the
organza resulted in images with an appearance strikingly
different from that of the original. I toyed with the
idea of making the books into "double books" like the
one in the image at right, in which the organza images
would be combined with regular paper printouts, but in
the end decided against it. This website, however,
gives me the chance to let the viewer see both the
organza images (which I scanned after printing) and
their brighter, more substantial counterpart originals.
