Image is Immanent

This book contains a series of drawings which Gottlund uses as guides to create larger plywood sculptures. The drawings / shapes are the result of a process by which pages from various books in his reference library are first scanned, then the image plates are deleted and the remaining margins are inverted from white to black. By removing the images and thus foregrounding the borders or margins from the page, the viewer is left with the armature or support structure of the book which references (albeit incompletely) graphic design trends, artist's sensibilities, and personal taste.
