Reference version of Part 4 – Slump | As with Part 3, it’s a rough version to check the movement of the elements, with this we’re trying to give the imagery weight as if the cube is slumping and spitting out heavy solid objects. But ignore the time, as the finished version will be longer. …. (Note that the file was compressed by mistake, so it's slightly stretched.)

OTHELLO – A BESTIARY (WITH FLORAL ADDITIONS)

'Othello - A Bestiary (With Floral Additions)' is a wordless reworking of William Shakespeare's 'Othello' as an illustrated collection of common, rare and fabulous animals.

In removing the text, Borbonesa presents a deconstructed version of 'Othello' in which the storyline is plotted by the guinea-hens, baboons, blind puppies, strawberries and figs that inhabit the speeches of Shakespeare's human characters. These faunal and floral forms are arranged in their original sequence so the structure of the play is visually revealed. 'Othello - A Bestiary (With Floral Additions)' is illustrated by Ian Whitmore and issued in September 2011 as a concertina bookwork, with a foreword by Anna Fewster. It is available to purchase direct from Borbonesa and selected bookshops.
