The second visual album from Waywords continues to develop the concept of “creative reading,” forming a phenomenological response to three different texts (essay, fiction, or poetry) around a provided term. Volume II will add a spoken word component to the project.

This is the album created from a series of workshops on this concept in the summer of 2023 hosted by Book Oblivion. While participants worked in a variety of materials (from photo collages to paint and culinary work), I choose to develop musical responses.

Tracks begin with #7, building from Volume I’s first six tracks.
