The first post is from "Steam Tables: Vapor, Liquid and Solid Relations." I used physics and mathematical information to develop a theory on relationships. Following the order of a book from the face page, content, preface, chapter I, II and III and appendix and so forth, I created a number of different levels of narratives in this work. Texts on the bottom of each page flow from page to page, while the imagery of fluids spill over, leak into and cut through to create another level of narratives. Texts and altered images from two books, "The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow" (1953) and "Mathematical Theory of Elasticity" (1946), are combined onto pages from "Steam Tables" (1969). It is best to see the whole work as an installation.
Below: texts from one of these pages. Images are at the bottom. Here, I'll post the first four pages.
