~ First in class exercise ~

For our first in class exercise, we were presented with a copy of Stephane Malarme's A Throw of the Dice. We were tasked to recreate our interpretation of the 10 page poem under the time constraint of 1 hr and 30 min. This was similar to our Assignment 01: Book carving project but without the restrictions and limits on the carving process. 

After having read through the poem a couple of times, I find it intriguing the Malarme had produced her poem. It was not presented as a regular poem, in which the reader would read line by line. Instead, Malarme took a step further and randomly placed the words as well as typed in different typefaces. Also, there is no true way to interpret this poem, which gives it a sense of ambiguity. 

For my exercise, I have taken all the bold lettering and "slipped" it through to the title page that reads, " A Throw Of The Dice". On the left of the page, I took words and recreated my version of the poem and equally, "slipped" it through to the title page. Lastly, I folded the bottom left corner as well as the opposite top right corner of the paper to give the impression of a recurring cycle.
