Intimate paper
'Innig papier' (Intimate paper)
shows an overview on the work o
f Roos van Lierop, who graduate
d at the Gerrit Rietveld Academ
ie Amsterdam in June 2006. It c
ontains 29 selected sketch book
s and diaries of the last 10 ye
ars.
The interior of the dust jacket
functions as a schematic table
of contents. It is an overview
of the artist's journals, spre
ad out over a surface. Black bo
xes have been drawn over the ph
otograph to indicate the overla
pping sections of journals that
are shown within the book. The
page number is indicated in th
e black box indexing the image
to an open-faced spread inside
the book.
The design of the book contains
a centered image on each open-
faced double page, and neighbou
ring journals on the periphery.
This allows the reader to make
new connections and cross-refe
rences between the artist's dif
ferent pieces as he or she navi
gates through the "bookscape".
'Innig papier' begins with all
the journals closed and progr
essively reveals the contents
inside of them. It is a proces
s that leads the reader, step
by step, to the artist.
