Description
"I came to this project as both a practicing artist and a lover of literature and literary criticism. Where previous illustrators sought to map their own visual practice onto the words and images of Ulysses, I allowed the text to guide me. Instead of laboring to distill entire chapters into a single image, I responded to a single word, phrase or idea from each page. Every chapter has its own distinct mode of image-creation which reflects that section's themes, compelling critical responses, or my own interpretations of Joyce's experimentations. All of these visualizations are my subjective response to Joyce's text, but I hope to have drawn forth images that become accessible to all. Building off one another, every chapter suite evokes a distinct feeling, which in my mind is similar to that of reading that section of the text. In selecting these various modes I was greatly influenced by the scholars who focused their inquiry of the novel by assessing each chapter in turn such as Karen Lawrence's The Odyssey of Style in Ulysses"--Artist's statement from the artist's personal website.
