Library Derives 1-4, 2003-2005, re-issued 2013 for LIBRO

letterpress and laser printing, open edition sets of 4, 4.5” x 7” booklets

The practice of the ‘dérive’ was developed by the Situationist International as a way to travel through and experience the city. I applied their technique of non-predestinated but focused wandering to the library catalog. The resulting writing relates the information I gleaned and charts my erratic path through the texts of the library.

On the Horizon is a watery flipbook with a narrative of an indeterminate voyage that is told on the covers and spine.

Interior is offset printed, covers are letterpress printed. Comes with two letterpress postcards. Two versions (Above and Below), each in an edition of 10.

A gnomon is the object on a sundial that casts the shadow and thereby marks the hour. In Greek, it means 'interpreter' or 'one who discerns'.

The text comes from Margaret Scott Gatty's The Book of Sun-Dials, a thorough compendium of mottoes found on sundials located throughout Europe and the United Kingdom and published in London by Chiswick Press in 1872. The images of urban gnomons were collected in Reno, Nevada in 2008.
