We started with a selection of text from John Ruskin&#8217;s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Elements of Drawing in Three Letters to Beginners<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (1857) as well as images from his digitized teaching collection at the Ashmolean. Then, with Jerome McGann&#8217;s notion of deformance firmly in mind, we proceeded to \u201ccombine\u201d the texts and images by means of an algorithmic manipulation, playing with code written by Generative Gestaltung and run through Processing, the open source prototyping software. This allowed us to draw with words\u2014 or perhaps rather, write with pictures. The resulting book. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Elements of Ruskin: A Deformance in Three Acts,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> pairs some of these deformations with excerpts from <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Elements of Drawing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The types are Goudy Sans, designed in 1930 by Frederic Goudy (its own delicate deformation of American Arts and Crafts and commercial publishing desires) and Cabin Sketch by the Argentinian type designer Pablo Impallari (a variant of his humanist sans Cabin but with the &#8220;texture of a teenage doodle&#8221;). The papers are Moab Entrada Rag Natural, Canson Mi-Teintes endpapers, and glassine wrappers. Two copies of the book were printed with archival inks on an Epson R2880 and bound by hand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243;

Thus, I returned to the <i>Yellow Book Digital Edition<\/i> when tasked with creating a work decadently meant to be art for art&#8217;s sake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The description provided below is taken from the published article <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.gold.ac.uk\/index.php\/volupte\/article\/view\/1760\">found here<\/a>.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In theory, as an artist whose practice is centred around contemporary issues of identity, feminism, social justice, and memory, I approached this work with one inspiration: art for art\u2019s sake! It was meant to be aesthetically pleasing, luxurious for its use of materials, and decadently self-indulgent. In practice, however, it was an embodied experience of the decadent pain one feels in the pleasure of creating something beautiful yet of no use.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Materials that I had initially been drawn to, such as rich velvets, heavy brocades, and delicate lace, proved useless as they fell apart. The suitable yellow fabric to use also proved impossible to find on the shelves and baskets of charity shops. After a few failed options, finding the right shade of yellow fabric that could be cut into ribbons without falling apart became an occupation of mine. On the surface, the seemingly abundant use of materials without the added value of morals turned out to be a valuable lesson in materiality. Most importantly, given that the materials are upcycled, they are inherently embedded with narratives\u2014purposes and intentions. Whether leftover from a dress made by mum, a quilt by grandma, or simply a sewing project abandoned halfway, these materials add their history to the piece. The resulting artwork is the most decadent work I have created to date, a work whose every inch has received equal attention and effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243;
