Visualising weather data with words. A collection of concrete poems.
Cycling along the coast beneath blue skies, I took a turn inland and was suddenly beneath dark rain clouds.
It made me wonder whether it is always raining somewhere.

Details
Using data from weather stations across the UK, these poems visualise the stories within rain, wind, snow and sunlight hours data by a carefully positions array of letters.
Each poem uses a variety of weather data from 1836 onwards.
The artist book includes four letterpress printed poems printed on different coloured paper alongside an explanatory sheet detailing how to read each of the poems and the data behind them. All presented in a letterpress printed presentation box.
As well as being read as a book, the individual poems are loose leaf and can also be framed as prints. The example frame shown is A4 with an A6 aperture mount.
