Why books?


Making artist books is a fundamental part of my art practice. Presenting images alongside text allows me to fully express my sense of place and space . Books allow storytelling; an unfolding of thoughts and feelings using the time that is spent in turning pages. Books allow for reflection and a gathering of elements that say so much more together than they are able to say apart.

High quality papers and environmentally sound materials are essential elements of the work. The words tend to be minimal and poetic. The choice of structure and layout of content in a book is a key element of the work.

My hand-bound books use a variety of bindings and covers. Choosing the materials to complement the content takes time and much experimentation.

The completed books are available in small editions, as creating each book involves many hours of work.

 new publication  on the moon  ....... a zero waste book about space trash

Picture
 Research into the topic of litter led me to discover the extraordinary list of items that man has left on the moon. This digital book , converted here into a small video, tells the story, using altered images from NASA provided under the Commons at Flickr. The book only exists digitally, in keeping with my desire to reduce waste. A high quality version to read as a book exists here
