Artist's Books
Through the Looking Glass, & What Alice Found There
This subversive and whimsical tale was published in 1871 and tells of Alice's adventures traversing a chessboard. Lewis Carroll's nonsense literature became a forerunner to Dada and realised original forms of literary and scientific types of perception.
A collection of artist's books in response to the narrative’s complex yet playful ideas of spacetime, logic and the language of science.
