47 Dreams
47 Dreams is an article from the journal Quadrivium, Issue 1. The journal can be found here in NSUWorks.
This book structure communicates 47 different dreams that Shuster recorded over a three-month period of time. This installation explores issues of authority in graphic design by functioning as an interactive, self-referential book form, which communicates Shuster's personal experiences without fulfilling any commercial tasks. The piece is created from a variety of handmade papers, adhered together to create a paper quilt, displayed on a twin bed frame. An accompanying paper pillowcase functions as a dream index. Each of the 47 quilt squares encloses a booklet that can be removed for reading by the viewer. Each booklet consists of four panels, in an accordion-folded format. The four panels consist of 1) notes from what Shuster can remember of her dream, 2) an analysis of that dream, 3) illustrations of some aspect of the dream and 4) her personal interpretation of the analysis. The cover of each booklet has been letterpress printed with a number corresponding to the dream index, allowing the viewer to pick by title the dream(s) they wish to learn more about.
