Synopsis

Winner AIGA book award and Type Directors Club award. In Tate Gallery and many other collections. i mean you know takes place within a few hours of one day inside the minds of seven characters who co-inhabit the same building. This musical/theatrical setting juxtaposes disparate characters (sasha the artist, violone confined to a wheelchair speaks only through her violin, myron the mystic millionaire, disk jockey ace monroe, little tracy the toddler, angelica the house painter, and the chronically inebriated and unemployed trombonio) in various arrangements; solo, duo, trio, quartet, sextet, and septet. The book further developed my approach to using typography as a means of creating psycho/acoustic translations of voice and thought within the space/time capsule that is a book. The result functions as a book to be read quietly alone, read aloud, or used as a score for performance.
