SART Senior Seminar

The book records memory change over time. Interspersed throughout are smail Post-It notes of handmade paper (mounted on sheets of handmade paper), with short texts that reveal progressive change in memory tied to language. The first two sections examine forgetting names and confusing of word order; the third weighs in on what remains when words and language disappear.

"The color system : schemes for life enhancement (or Because I love you I can come apart) was conceived by artist Jenny Hoshida Park, who composed the color names and systems and created 107 unique colors in response to thirteen found, vintage photographs. It is framed as a book of color swatches one might find at a paint or interior design shop, where each color name evokes paradisical vacations or quaint Americana. Poet Bianca Stone was then invited to collaborate, which led to the interruption of the pages with the rough draft of her poem, "Because I love you I can come apart" and prose poems in the form of endnotes responding to each of Yoshida Park's color systems. The color swatches were cut from hand painted paste papers. The photographs were digitally altered and printed with archival pigment inks on Red River Polar Gloss Metallic paper. Text was set in Futura and Adobe Jenson and printed letterpress by Nelle Martin on Rives BFK. Poem excerpts were typed on a 1947 Remington Noiseless Model 7 typewriter onto hand ruled strips of translucent Cave paper. Sonja Jones bound the books in Maharam cloth and made the enclosures. ... copublished by Brighton Press and Evidence of the Hand, in a limited edition of 45 signed and numbered copies with four additional artist's proofs, in 2019"--Colopho
