Bookmark #4, Ken Babstock, “Essentialist” from Airstream Land Yacht

Author Ken Babstock (right) with Bookmark Chair Ben McNally

 

Project Bookmark Canada brings together real and imagined landscapes by placing text from stories and poems in the exact physical locations where those literary scenes are set. 
 
The bookmark design is a careful balance of brand recognition and readability. It needs to be recognizable as one of many installations across Canada without getting in the way of what people really want to see - the author's text. The installations are metal with a printed ceramic surface.
