The book outlines, in sections, how my ideas were derived as well as the changes and iterations that I encountered. The book led to plans for the installation, the final edit of the thesis book, and a series of screen printed pages which posed questions and statements from my project.

Completed while studying at the London College of Communication (LCC). This book is a compilation of experiments regarding the act of reading a book.

The book became a document explaining the environmental conditions that ultimately determined how the book was read on this given day.
