Negative Space

Product Information

A series of three prints, a large white letter R, N, and F are accompanied by a graphic of a little girl, dog, and bus respectively, each illustration creating the defining shape of each letterform. The taglines state: 'You either see the letter or the dog (bus, little girl). Don’t text and drive.'

And then we have the lingering presence of Werner Baumhauer, a local physician and writer, who tried to weigh his soul by weighing himself before and after hanging himself on those same weighs. His assistant, who weighed the body after the Bauhauer’s death was in for a disappointment. Inspired by these examples of negative space? Below the artist Timothy Von Rueden shares his top five tips on how to use negative space in your own artwork. As an artist who strived for realism, learning to use the impact and value of negative space within a piece helped him break the confines of what he believed a work of art should be. Yeager already liked my review, so I suppose that's a good sign. When I read his debut novel, Amydalatropolis, I was absolutely horrified. It was the first book to TRULY frighten me. I couldn't sleep, I devised various ways to get it out of my house (return it at B&N, donate it, throw it in the trash) but each method was much more effort than I was willing to expend, mostly because I was worried if someone FOUND the book and linked it to me, and started thinking I was some sort of deviant. This is another argument for another time, but one of those pesky stereotypes of readers is that they thoroughly enjoy and identify with the text their reading, and therefore the content of the book becomes associated with the reader's character. I can confirm that although I read and love transgressive literature, I'm about as a square as some maiden aunt in a Jane Austen novel.Wish I could give this one more than 5 stars. Not just my favorite thing I've read this year, but probably one of my favorite things I've read ever? As soon as I finished it I wanted to reset my progress and start all over?? I never feel that way. It will claw its gravitational grasp, pull you into a dark fever dream, and it won't let go. It will crawl into your thoughts and wrap them in bleeding hallucinations. It's been over a week since I finished reading this book, and I can still hear it whispering like a night wind that blows free through my skull. I adored Negative Space. It is a personal Ways Of Seeing for twenty-first-century women … Leach beautifully articulates what it is to be a writer, what it is to be heartbroken, what it is to be betrayed and ultimately what it is to be human.’

Negative Space is a beautiful book – raw, honest, and vulnerable. Searingly intimate and thought-provoking.’ You might wonder how you can design with something that, in a sense, doesn’t exist. If you design it, is it still blank? Negative Space is a whole different beast. While I eventually was able to appreciate what Amydalatropolis did, by reframing 4chan posts as literary art, and revealing the absolute barbarism which lies at the "heart of darkness" which is the free, wild web, and that Yeager is perhaps the first novelist to ever UNDERSTAND the Internet and express this in a text worth reading--I adore Negative Space, because it does something wildly different exploration of a wildly different phenomena.This is a difficult book to review because I loved it but I'm having a hard time putting my thoughts and feelings into words. Instead I'm going to make a list of keywords to get you in the mood: drugs, suicide, internet forums, nihilism, existentialism, dreams, nightmares, metaphysics, rituals... are you interested yet? Learn everything you need to know about book cover design, book formatting, typesetting, and design principles to more effectively navigate the self-publishing industry. Entropy is an intentional choice of words because it feels like entropy is the core and foundation of the entire novel. The disintegration of everything into a slow fire, time’s inevitable charge, how everything and everyone you ever knew will one day be forgotten and there will be nothing left to mourn; it’s bleak no doubt, but it’s through these people Yeager creates immense empathy for these characters and hints that entropy might not necessarily be negative and possibly even a transcendental process (as we see at the end of Lu’s arc and, to a lesser extent, Jill’s) She is uncommonly good at writing about being embodied. When she learns of her husband’s infidelity, she starts wringing her hands and notices for the first time that this is not only something that happens in books. As if to shout down cliches about finding one’s voice: “After my marriage breaks, I go to the top of a mountain and scream. The wind whips the sound away, disappearing it out of my mouth before it has even hit the air. I scream in the empty house. I scream at the empty house. I yell in the bath.” Testing her voice

All the world blurred, a vibrating hemorrhage, and it was fine because I could finally feel how little impact I’d ever have on the world. Losing that dread that one day you’ll somehow ruin everything, for yourself and everyone else. The realization that I could simply leave and the world wouldn’t miss me.” Prokhorov, Nikita (15 March 2013). Alain Nicolas in Ambigrams revealed. New Riders. ISBN 978-0-13-308646-1 . Retrieved 2021-08-07.B.R Yeager’s Negative Space was released on this unsuspecting planet on March 1st 2020 by a little known Philadelphia based publisher called Apocalypse Party. Thirteen days before everything went to shit. It has become the talk of the town since, but I believe this conceptual horror novel is not done colonizing our collective consciousness. This is one of the best novels I’ve read in 2021 and toxoplasmosis for the soul. I mean that in the most complimentary way.
