Work in progress

I’ve reached an exciting stage of constructing my artist’s book from the printed pages. It’s  a process which requires dexterity and patience – assembling the pages with delicate hinges made from japanese paper and starch paste. No I’m not ironing the book – I’m using the iron as a weight.

Artist’s Book ‘In the Beginning’

I am working on an Artist’s Book for an upcoming exhibition, Capturing Movement: Art and Contemporary Dance, to be held at the University of Kent in September.  I have been invited to take part in the exhibition by curator, Camilla H.Eriksen. The book has a narrative based on a passage from the gospel of John. The model signed the passage and the pages will be in correct sequential order.
