CALENDAR

This is a calendar I created to explore a couple ideas.

The first of those is to encapsulate a physical space within the space of a book and explore the navigation of that space via the time the reader reads the book. So, by turning the page, the reader moves forward in time, revealing more of this object.

The second idea is to look at the idea of time as a continuous series broken into discrete chunks. This is done by breaking up each calendar month into three smaller parts that flow into one another. The book is printed on vellum, allowing the reader to see both forward and backward from the moment they're in. The title text for each month is drawn as a three-dimensional object but is broken into three parts that aren't always the most conventionally logical. One part, for example, may be the bottom half of an M, and only makes sense when seen with its other parts. When the reader first looks at the month, they see all three parts because of the transparency of the paper.
