Closely crosshatched engraved lines were used to describe the darkest tones in an image, for which I substituted pen lines in ink. I knew it would be more or less boring, but "I can be as anal as the next man," I boasted to myself. I tried to observe my surface feelings with yogic detachment. <br />Initial excitement at the concept and minor technical hurdles gave way to workmanlike pride which slid into irritation and self-doubt at my initial decision. Should it have been a bold single brushstroke applied with Whistleresque mastery? <br />Eventually the inanity and tedium of laying one line as close as possible to the last crushed my impotent fury and I became a slave to the process. My concentration seemed to increase and there were even flashes of a sort of pleasure - emanating I suppose from the most perverse part of my psyche.<br />Nearing the end I wondered - what if I died immediately on finishing the last line? Would it be a fitting or even hilarious epitaph and elegy to my work? <br />Would it engender general pity and esteem ---- would passersby, stopping to cast a look at it walk on and sigh, </div><div>Alas, poor *****!'</div>* Laurence Sterne Trusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09185783146763961855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132312525544001444.post-22497822717964848042009-09-06T09:23:00.001-07:002009-09-11T13:36:00.140-07:00Black Page 65<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBD5r9GZYSW9szHAFgrrh3b22r2YUAZLaVGNp_syWcFcLcUEPy3-3e7K6f90vlAdjQGedOJQPlx6LnVPsZ-3KAG9xaWyJ_ApnEA1bC6sQsRikQRVWX-FiGM-iEFYRGXoas9GuzkA-xVU/s1600-h/BP65(266).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5378390938885626994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgBD5r9GZYSW9szHAFgrrh3b22r2YUAZLaVGNp_syWcFcLcUEPy3-3e7K6f90vlAdjQGedOJQPlx6LnVPsZ-3KAG9xaWyJ_ApnEA1bC6sQsRikQRVWX-FiGM-iEFYRGXoas9GuzkA-xVU/s320/BP65(266).jpg" border="0" /></a> Description of work<br /><br />'Using black and white ink because the black page is intended to mourn (Alas!)

Thank you to William Harris, Prof Em. Middlesbury College, for his high-fidelity PDF rendering of the third (Volumes 1&2) and first (3-9) editions.<br />An event such as Yorick's death is aptly marked by visual silence, in which we might want to reflect on his life. As a fictional character life flows from type lines, so this might serve as a summary, eulogy, index. Perhaps a scholar can gain a new perspective by straining at this textual deformation, or by noticing the uneven distribution. And as far as the typographic colour of a page goes, this one's pretty black...'* Laurence Sterne Trusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09185783146763961855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132312525544001444.post-80143460026132913042009-09-04T16:12:00.001-07:002009-09-07T02:20:49.644-07:00Black Page 59<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFCrwXvDQuLASZH-DrQpgyNj-9v1uDAhm5vGHipjYgeB5QsgkaNgedgQH_Bomc52bfGzZdn0wCo8oX0LbC6n5UlVf1Gac04emFCTXgld1lv4njZ8x8XQSGXqeVuV-fex5OdoaLvHa-ceg/s1600-h/BP59(249).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377754267567031522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFCrwXvDQuLASZH-DrQpgyNj-9v1uDAhm5vGHipjYgeB5QsgkaNgedgQH_Bomc52bfGzZdn0wCo8oX0LbC6n5UlVf1Gac04emFCTXgld1lv4njZ8x8XQSGXqeVuV-fex5OdoaLvHa-ceg/s320/BP59(249).jpg" border="0" /></a> Description of work<br /><br />'Using printing ink, Zerkall paper and inky fingers because I am mostly a printmaker and so wanted to make a print!

To make this black page I tried to slowly fill it with lines drawn back and forth down the page - mimicking the movement of a writing pen or, indeed, a reading eye. However under the influence of L.S., I found I kept going into loopy zigzaggy digressions. If you look closely you will see layers of straight lines constantly undermined and complicated by random unruly arabesques.'<br /><div></div>* Laurence Sterne Trusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09185783146763961855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132312525544001444.post-89926558277405469742009-09-04T04:02:00.001-07:002009-09-11T13:29:06.296-07:00Black Page 53<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4a4qSzoHpn1XcmuJHc3bgrqoFG7Aw2jV2tZVkgtzhKqfVb_WjgjpuDBeIMTaKz8KJu0LPnzXW3xUe_CLVAuHmKJrKbRClMbPSb17JqlzDlc6WWyu8zRVwRgAnzgqAIoNgOcgv4XRd9Y/s1600-h/BP53(260).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377566014567845218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_4a4qSzoHpn1XcmuJHc3bgrqoFG7Aw2jV2tZVkgtzhKqfVb_WjgjpuDBeIMTaKz8KJu0LPnzXW3xUe_CLVAuHmKJrKbRClMbPSb17JqlzDlc6WWyu8zRVwRgAnzgqAIoNgOcgv4XRd9Y/s320/BP53(260).jpg" border="0" /></a> Description of work<br /><br />'Using a section cut from the black cardboard containing a copy of page 73 with the blank area representing the shape of Yorick's tombstone because I was asked to fill it in somehow by the present incumbent of Shandy Hall.'<br /><div></div>* Laurence Sterne Trusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09185783146763961855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132312525544001444.post-5419781956324876642009-09-04T04:01:00.001-07:002009-09-11T13:28:20.120-07:00Black Page 52<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhU9ky60lQiibprHqwoE7NdIcWj9hru0uL56tWXNmFFlc97zz47PmdnxEDmWbN-_CIf_N4jOpHhFMdjAsRiH2ecfDgSNHS4ovy2P-N9u1s8vkHlQJqdKXhIwdVGSMgxTzcy7z-fAILrZQ/s1600-h/BP52(263).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377565812870952498" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhU9ky60lQiibprHqwoE7NdIcWj9hru0uL56tWXNmFFlc97zz47PmdnxEDmWbN-_CIf_N4jOpHhFMdjAsRiH2ecfDgSNHS4ovy2P-N9u1s8vkHlQJqdKXhIwdVGSMgxTzcy7z-fAILrZQ/s320/BP52(263).jpg" border="0" /></a> Description of work<br /><br />'Using pen and ink because ink never produces an even blackness and is therefore closer to most of our experiences of blackness.'<br /><div></div>* Laurence Sterne Trusthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09185783146763961855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4132312525544001444.post-47996183714510025202009-09-04T04:00:00.001-07:002009-10-29T09:12:30.489-07:00Black Page 51<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-0s7i_pGmAMRpXjItckyQnSVhjaVY0qrs8OhAmRgzaKD6azX8ejCixq-xn4wa6eqg6z26hgAL5fkk6vxmQD3ovVmEWlBi9F_Ra4GS6eWCcR90L2P-zfnGV1N1cLs4QEKoQFVC-fZsiwo/s1600-h/BP51(246).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377565616527305970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 227px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-0s7i_pGmAMRpXjItckyQnSVhjaVY0qrs8OhAmRgzaKD6azX8ejCixq-xn4wa6eqg6z26hgAL5fkk6vxmQD3ovVmEWlBi9F_Ra4GS6eWCcR90L2P-zfnGV1N1cLs4QEKoQFVC-fZsiwo/s320/BP51(246).jpg" border="0" /></a> Description of work<br /><br />'Using Black Indian Ink because I wanted to make an image using chance, which for me can be equated with the marbled page found in T.S. My ink spot which I created by dropping ink from a brush held at height over the page, refers to an artwork I have previously produced: ' Full Stop (The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman) [2006]. For this work I photographed the final full stop from a first edition copy of TS, through a microscope and blew it up to an enormous scale. Laurence Sterne playfully used punctuation throughout TS, and the black ink visible in my photograph moves in unregulated form and density throughout the paper. In place of the clear, circular contours of the full stop, there is a stain, the product of chance and a disturbing factor within the traditional regulations of image and visibility. Similar to a Rorschach test, the enlarged inkblot gives space for free association.
