Here is another project I completed in my third year. It is a set of books based on the concept of waiting. The poem tells a story of a collection of Ten milk bottles slowly deteriorating on a doorstep while waiting to be taken in. The reader has to compose the poem by finding and placing the right ticket onto the correct page from one book to the other. This is done by matching the code number on each page with the code number on the ticket. Readers have to ‘wait’ for the story to develop. reading the poem ticket by ticket creates the feeling of time dragging. To emphasise the concept, the poem is printed on tickets used for queuing.
