Madalyn Eastus has designed a picture book in which “a series of images made only of paper — cut, folded, and woven […] rely upon each other to create multilayered” offerings. It is evocatively titled Woolf. In the back matter is a set of principles set out in verse form. They are reproduced here with regard to the spacing:
no narrative – only pattern
no glue – just friction
reflection over horizontal
& vertical axes
cropping, symmetry,
surprise
A set of predictable actions; a set of unpredictable outcomes. The story is universal: to be charmed by pattern coming back again. Such a character pattern is!
And so for day 163
