This piece is a book called awkward moments from the Maison Kasini section of the Belgo building and it was composed by Daryl Vocat. The book is quite bold and suggestive and still has a friendly look to it. He uses bright contrasting colors (mostly primary). The prints are lined with thick, bold, black outlines and consist of 34 in total. The book (designed by Ric Kasini), after looking through is not as friendly as it appears at first sight and the tile becomes more and more apparent as one flips through the prints. Some of the prints come across as filled with torment and isolation and also tender and intimate making it the awkward moments he is talking about. The book is 8.5 x 11” and has saddle stitched bindings with 28 pages. I think that Vocat definitely benefits greatly from today’s digital media and without it wouldn’t have been able to produce many of the prints in his book. Programs like illustrator make prints like these much more accessible and therefore I believe digital media has made it possible for Vocat to reproduce his experiences in the form of his art work. Vocats work is certainly very relative to our class work and projects as we discussed artist books and types of bindings for our before and after projects as a book was an option. His work reminds me a lot of the work we looked at involving illustrator as well and that is possibly why I decided to write about his book.
