The Private Library of Eric Blair, V. II: from Books to Bits (2015)

Like the roaming of the library shelves, or the process of surfing the web, I am drawing from “slivers” of existing material so as to create more challenging panoramic prints. The scale has increased and the similarity to the facets that are found in fine glass is obvious. They float back and forth between the analytical and the abstract. I am combining numerous slivers into extended “brain waves” that represent how learning is practiced and accomplished today—in bits and pieces. They illustrate a world in transition—from the analogue to the digital. From the physical to the ethereal.
