IC w11 Pinpricks

This morning I received an email from Cemre with a link to an investigation related to clouds. This was a book by Diego Marcon, 2016. Besides the first classification system and despised landscapes and cloudy skies, there were also placed female figures that appealed to my imagination and that I had never associated with clouds before; not literally and not figuratively.

The website where I ended up sold books by artists, but they are also available to download for free. And some of them triggered me; small pinpricks given, ideas to work out later.

This booklet with the tip of the nose, inserting your nose somewhere, visually reminds you of contours and successively refers to a flipbook

John Baldessari, Nose Peak - 2015

The book Hot house by Justin Beal, 2011; I saw it this way:

Justin Beal. 2011 - ruction by Hilde Maassen. 2020.

Alison Knowles. Clear skies all week. - 2011.

A series of sentences that are so similar that it also becomes visually interesting

Alison Knowles. Clear skies all week. - 2011.

Alison Knowles. Clear skies all week. - 2011.

What you see here are not clouds, but they remind me.
