2、ooks,but then as they got closer theywould see this rough hole carved into it,and wonder whatwas happening,wonder why,and think about the material ofthe book.我想创造一堆书,让人能在来展览馆看这堆书时,认为他们只是一堆普通的书。但是当他们走进时,他们会看到中间这个的洞,开始猜想发生了什么事,为什么会这样,并思考书是由什么材料做成的。00:18So Im interested in the texture,but Im more inter

4、 then I carve into thesurface of the book,and Im not moving or adding anything.在我的大部分作品中,我把书的边角用厚重的油漆封起来,在书外表制造出类似皮层的东西,让它成为一种硬质地的材料,然而里面的书页还是松散的,然后我从书的表面雕刻进去,而并没有添加或剪切任何东西。00:39Alternate:vi.交替;轮流/vt.使交替;使轮流/adj.交替的;轮流的/n.替换物 carved:adj.有雕刻的/v.雕刻(carve的过去式和过去分词)texture:n.质地;纹理;结构;本质,实质 varnish:n.亮光漆

7、ing into it,这是文艺复兴画家拉斐尔的一本画册,而用他的作品来混合雕刻,01:12Im sort of making it into something thats more new andmore contemporary.我把它变成一些更现代化的东西。01:21Im thinking also about breaking out of the box of thetraditional book and pushing that linear format,and try topush the structure of the book itself so that the b

17、,but the material itself suggests a landscape aswell.就材料而言,我用砂纸 去打磨它的边角,因此不仅图案展示风景,自身的材料也展现了风景。03:10So one of the things I do is when Im carving through thebook,Im thinking about images,but Im also thinking abouttext,and I think about them in a very similar way,我做的其中一件事是,当我雕刻书本的时候,我在考虑书的图案,但同时我亦考虑其文
