Is there a name for these book title pile-ups?
These almost formed themselves, as I shelved books at the store--I only rearranged them a little.

Great selection of book titles! Nina Katchadourian calls it "Sorted Books" and she calls it a riff on what William S. Burroughs called the cut-up method. http://www.openculture.com/2016/07/how-to-jumpstart-your-creative-process-with-william-s-burroughs-cut-up-technique.html
ReplyDeleteI may have to try the cut-up method.

Sorted Books... Thanks, Kirsten.
ReplyDeleteIt was YOU telling me about this that got me started!!!
I guess my "book pile-up" is an OK name too.
Wow--I have never done the cut-up method, after all these years of working with books & collage.
I bet psychologically I resisted cutting up book pages---especially when I was young, in pre-internet days... But I am now eager to try it!
Must do that and post some here!
If you get any you'd like to share, you could email me them too!
I've been a little under the weather all weekend so didn't do anything but stay on the couch and read. A nice thing!
