5/8

a book to be looked at or read — I like to simply look through many books — text books etc or poetry — the patterns of pictures and words or just the arrangement of the text — for example Mobile or Ou — I would like my book to be interesting even to someone who can’t read English — the possibility of commissioning someone to write the entire thing out in calligraphic script — possibly on parchment — leather binding etc

<12/13/87
it’s now 12/13 — the use of spacing as a separator of my equivalent to sentences — as thought of 12/8 — the layers of time that shift back into the older notes — the idea that the book could be rewritten over and over as i change my conception of spacing and arranging >

the infinite possible versions — different types

hand writing — photo copies — illustrated —

variations in the darkness of the print as my printer ribbon wears out

rendering components rescued from cable TV garbage — thought of throwing the boxes etc away but now think of a series — of several components — some titles based on words from the pieces —“ Model EA” - “Starline”
how “components” (words pieces whatever) take on different “dimensions” in different contexts

side ideas — spice jars and rack for nail or screw fetish — the screws from these pieces for a screw fetish — possible screwed into plexiglass
