'Cracked with Life' by Anna Olivia Riley combines various archival materials such as photographs, poems, and drawings to address themes of FOMO, nostalgia, and the complexity of living in a curated digital age. The work emphasizes capturing raw emotions over linear narratives, inviting readers to explore and interact with the unfolding story amid fragmented visuals and text. Riley positions her book as a space for reflection and connection, emphasizing the importance of thought and feeling in creative expression through a beautiful array of imagery.
In the greys between feelings, making and discovery.
Cracked with life feels like an open doorway into bookmaking.
Narrative is not important, the recording of thoughts, feelings and aspirations is paramount.
I'm playing with how writing might be part of a visual practice.
