Scott Williams
Strange Secrets, 2007
1942
80 pages, 8.5 x 7 x 2 inches. Pencil calligraphy, paper cut out, airbrushed hand cut stencils. Several years ago after a severe seizure Scott practiced writing and simple paper cutting in his sketchbooks, an excersize that assisted him in regaining his eye/hand coordination. Day by day for the past two years Scott has gone back over the initial writting and papercutting with airbrushed handcut stencil painitng. The result is a book of cryptic writing (which sometimes resolves into true English but primarily remains Williams-script) and pscycho-delic palimpsest harkens back to other enigmatic bookworks such as Aldus Manutius? Hypnerotomachia Poliphili and Leonardo DaVinci's backward-written sketchbooks.
