Frankenstein according to Riley Walter

Frankenstein according to Jackie Turner

Here's the link to the 212 page book I threw together. I got a copy of Frankenstein at a used book store and there was a name written on the front cover, Jackie Sarah Turner, and these are her underlines and notes. I took as much care as I could to place the text exactly where it was in the original book, down to where words break and where chapter titles go. The handwritten notes I just moved to the bottom of the page they appear on and cited them as footnotes, rather than try to recreate her handwriting.

I tried to find and get ahold of whatever Jackie Turner was closest to the north shore area and I found one and sent her a message on facebook about a week and a half ago or so but she never got back to me so I'm going to assume she won't because it's weird that I have her book and wanted to talk to her about it.

Elizabeth had caught the scarlet fever; her illness was severe, and she was in the greatest danger. During her illness many arguments had been urged to persuade my mother to refrain from attending upon her. She had first yielded to our entreaties, but when she heard that the life of her favourite was menaced, she could no longer control her anxiety. She attended her sickbed; her watchful attentions triumphed over the malignity of the distemper - Elizabeth was saved, but the consequences of this imprudence were fatal to her preserver.

How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavored to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful! Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
The different accidents of life are not so changeable as the feelings of human nature. I had worked hard for nearly two years, for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. For this I had deprived myself of rest and health. I had desired it with an ardour that far exceeded moderation;

Such were my reflections as I commenced my journey; but as I proceeded, my spirits and hopes rose. I ardently desired the acquisitions of knowledge. I had often, when at home, thought it hard to remain during my youth cooped up in one place, and had loned to enter the world, and take my station among other human beings. Now my desires were complied with, and it would, indeed, have been folly to repent.

End text?

This is going to be the final spread in my cigarette book.  It's an excerpt the movie Coffee and Cigarettes which is a collection of short films relating to coffee and cigarettes.  This particular excerpt is from the short Somewhere in California between Iggy Pop and Tom Waits, two men who, in my opinion, give off the very essence of cigarette smoke and ash.

I know I said I wanted to chose something personal, possibly interviews or clips of interviews from people that I personally gather, but this scene, and the entire movie as a whole, really reflects the smoker's culture and the inability to give it up;  just one more cigarette, now that I have quit. I think it's a good trade off, from something that people can easily relate to to something that people can recognize.\

pages 20-21

Currently there are only the 21 pages in this book but I have the largest section left to edit down into the data circles which should at least double the size. Breaking down all the images into pages 3-15 took about 2 hours so when I have a stretch of time over the weekend, the rest of the book will get made. The title page displays all the routes traveled together, as if on a map. Red is the color for now just because it was the easiest to see on the map that I was drawing the route over, it won't stay that color.

I've also been thinking about the next topic for a data book similar to this. Instead of including images, it may just be a data set of the amount of times I've looked clocks during a period of likely one day. I'd include the time it was, where I was, and how the time was conveyed to me, whether it was a clock, a phone,  a computer monitor, or something else.

I got the idea in a particularly boring art history class where it seemed I would check the time every 30 minutes only to see about 2 minutes actually pass. It got me thinking about how we perceive time and distort our memory of it, depending on our surroundings and activities.

First book spread

Spread idea from one route. On the left is just the route that I walked and on the right are the cigarettes that I walked passed. I may include dates/times on the route page but I'm not sure how to incorporate that yet.

Page dimensions are 5.25" x 7.375" with 1.5" top and bottom margin and 1" left and right margin. There's a .125" buffer between each image, making a total of 12 per page.
