d'image,musicand .air? mAhan de station can be cleaved from connotation TE BY MARGARET RICHARDS** IPLA;'H The collaborative affinities of Steve Tomasula and Stephen Farrell alchemize on the page. Tomasula writes profoundly and passionately on ideas; Farrell transmutes these into designs inspired by typographic magic. The chemistry between the writer and designer fuses two distinct disciplines into a new form, the manuscript as art, as rich interpretive text. EP (OR AS liVILLIAIYLGASS_ASKSJS_IT_PDSSIBLEIO_WRITE TRAGEDY IN LIMERICK?) — Steve Tomasula Tomasula, meta-fiction writer, essayist and critic, is published in literary journals like The Review of Contemporary Fiction and Black Ice. He teaches creative writing at Notre Dame University in South Bend. Farrell is the principal of Slip Studios in Chicago, and a designer of typefaces for T-26 and his own Manuscripts Folio. He also teaches at The Illinois Institute of Art. Both work with other collaborators, but when they have the opportunity to work together, their complementary talents mesh to produce unique experimental creations. One such project is "TOC' which appeared in the Joint Venture issue of Emigre magazine "TOC" is a 17-page meditation on the concept of time paralleled by a compelling narrative of a woman in crisis. Farrell's empathetic response to Tomasula's layered text—using expressive typography, evocative and effective horological images draws us into the collaborators' world. The writer and designer worked for two years on this project. Tomasula's voice is authorial. His spiraling conversations reflect his writing style, which is compelling, elliptical, philosophical, theological, literary and, often, very funny. His interests range from a preoccupation with medieval sensibilities to an analysis of contemporary literary criti- cism. His reviews often convey these preoccupations, including a recent account in Private Arts 8/9 of Raymond Federman's Double or Nothing: A Real Fic- titious Discourse and Critifiction: Postmodern Essays (again painstakingly designed by Farrell). Collaboration for Tomasula is a dialogue of sorts. He resists design when it is unsympathetic to the meaning and feeling of the text. The act of prettifying text arbitrarily or a reducing of ideas to mere visual elements is, to Tomasula, the encroachment of the enemy. He is interested in design as image intertwined with narrative. He also expects design to be sensitive to the evocative nature of fonts. His rela- tionship with Farrell is based not just on respect for Farrell's expressive use of type and dramatic setting of text, but on a shared intellectual vision and belief that design can be inherent to the effective presentation of ideas. Farrell's Chicago firm, Slip Studios, has been involved in a series of joint venture projects that support writers and artists. Occasionally, these predominantly print projects will be published and distributed by the studio itself. Farrell describes the process of collaboration with a metaphor. "If the writer is the mind, the designer fashions the body and sets it in motion: he says. Design, the body language, literally embodies the text and makes it come alive. Farrell responds to ideas with a dramatic sensibility, reacting to the text in terms of meaning and emotion and imbuing the words with typographic resonance. He likens designing to directing: "It is about pacing and drama. In response to the text, I want to create
