Form as Research is a series of 10 double-sided “plates” or prints. It is responding directly to American Woods, Volume IV, a book of wood specimens created by father-daughter naturalist team Romeyn and Marjorie Hough in 1894. This process of “research” was based on Aristotle’s Organon, which argues that all objects can be analyzed from ten different perspectives: substance, quantity, relation, quality, place, time, position, state, action, and affection. Using these perspectives as entry points, I explored the source material, creating new visual languages and writing from the experience.
