a humument








in 1970 tom phillips published a humument, an altered version of the victorian romance novel, a human document. each page is so intricate and beautiful. the colours, elements of collage, and way he appropriated someone else's work and made it his own also reminds me a lot of henry darger.
i think i'm going to try to make an altered book out of an archie comic; i'll report back once i've come up with a clever name.
