douglas coupland

I really like coupland's stories, and i knew that he was artist too, but i guess i kind of forgot about it until now.
This is called "Fifty Books I Have Read More Than Once"

Which appeals to me as an idea, but also through sheer mass and scale, adding gravity to that statement. I also admire the way illustrative or print images, could be combined with shape and sculpture. Sometimes i feel like having an image at the end of a project seems to undermine all the work that can lead up to that one image, purley because it stands flat on (often) a small piece of paper. This piece really makes me think about how important backing, and evironment is to images, how they can really change the medium.
I suppose it is much like putting a drawing in a frame, in the way that putting it in a frame makes it something to be looked at.
