Project Background

With the thought of expanding and exploring deeper the ideas from the previous project Zine 01: Don’t Speak, this project is the first artist book from the conventional context about the four different cultural writing systems. Cuneiform–The Origins of Writing talking about the history and other aspects about one of the oldest scripts in the world.

The Concept

The book was created based on multiple researches and content collections from a variety of public domain resources. The cover was hand-made from low-fire clay and stained with iron oxide to achieve the desired color. The text and script were impressed on wet clay using a relief stamp engraved by laser cut machine to mimic the act of writing on clay of the Mesopotamian.
