I found this collection when looking through catalogs in the libuary. Veronica Bailey is a photographer and artist. Her work focuses alot around the idea of multiples, collections and the idea of time passing. The work that first got me looking into to her work was the collection entited 'Modern Myths' to which she takes different newspapers and photographs the edges, and references them to greek mythology. This idea that the image is changed from that of a peice of paper to something far more conceptual and deep with the addition of text is very important. The use of text and its influences over the audience is important with this book.
The images themselves are very similistic. the pages of the news paper distorted and twisted to create shapes. The idea that newspapers are used, publications with mearly 24hour shelf life, to create representations of what was popular storys and tales is very well thought out.
