In order to fully explore the relationship between words and images, content and form, Episodic’s Steven McCarthy has created works of a personal nature. “Artists’ books” as the genre is called, seek to question the traditional form, narrative content and literary and visual sequences inherent in most books. This is applicable to his work as a publication designer, because he is able to examine alternatives to the conventional wisdom, and investigate other ways of reading and seeing in the book format.
