False Creek

This unique board book showcases fine art images of T&T, Tyler Brett and Tony Romano, and combines them with single words such as "Day" or Night." The use of single words and images that represent the words is characteristic of board books, which teach young readers basic words and concepts. This book can be used with younger children to do just that. However, these images can be read at a deeper level as well. The work of T&T reflects on ideas of sustainability, green architecture, and technological progress. Their artworks frequently include elements of natural systems such as solar power and organic filters in conjunction with recycled and reconfigured technology. In their usual whimsical yet astute way, T&T have imagined a future in their art where the hubris of progress and civilization have been replaced by a new confident relationship between art, technology, and nature reliant on an artistic and stylistic gleaning of the past. What better way to symbolize this new confident relationship then by creating a book that balances the old with the young, with a board book for both adults and kids?
