Form.
How important is form in publication design? Can more unusual formats realistically work for mainstream publications, or are they restricted to independent zines and artist books?
I really love these images- it is especially interesting to see you working the material qualities of this paper- and letting it define its own structure. The way you have stitched it shows a sympathetic understanding and this delicate approach to construction seems to be a strong theme throughout your Ma (precious objects, hidden pages). Even without any content- without text or image- I still think there is substance to this creation. The actual 'form' of this is talking to the reader.
