Reading Finnegans Wake Facsimile, Full edition of IV volumes.
Nowhereman Press, 2022 Edition of 300 copies numbered and signed by the artist.
This is a facsimile of the only knitted edition, encompassing four volumes housed in the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library of the University of Toronto. A different, also plastic means is thus used to show the deep complexity housed in Finnegans Wake. I thereby convert Joyce’s language into material and establish a new form of visual reading that not only respects the original structure, but also seeks to preserve the rhythm and form of style beyond the need for meaning, thus maintaining the original format and material of the publication and creating a visual tribute to the novel and its author.
