CONTINUA-TION (2018)

 Purchase at Amazon

This book is a literal continuation of other extant material: the Composition Strategies, Continua, and Dynaxiom, as well a list of human universals on the edges of the pages as a flip-book. It is designed to inspire the reader by opening to a random page, and basing the creativity on chance discovery.

The book will continue on in future editions, each with a different spine color following “ROYGBIV”, the sequence of the light spectrum colors from low to high: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, with perhaps black and white to “bookend” the set.

 

I have also included a list of human universals at recto upper-left and verso lower-right of each page spread  (as delineated in the book Human Universals by Donald Brown), also for the purpose of fortuitous discovery.

Spreads from the book:

 
As of this first edition, it is undetermined what format the future editions might include. The number of pages will remain exactly the same, such that pages in different volumes can coincide in some fashion. For example, pages A50 and B51 could be a poem of 12-16 stanzas that could span the remaining 6-8 volumes, or a series of photographs documenting the evolution of a place chronologically, across all seasons, or portraits of a character in various stages of life, all organized by the Universals at the edges of the pages. Some editions, but not all, will have both a paper and e-book version. For example, one may be only electronic with embedded videos and other natively-digital content.

Possible topics for the Volumes:

    Red Edition (This Edition)
    Orange Edition (Undetermined)
    Yellow Edition (Audio Files)
    Green Edition (Aphorisms)
    Blue Edition (Photography)
    Indigo Edition (Undetermined)
    Violet Edition (Lyrics and Poetry)
