The Studio 5 Summer Exhibition. Day 18. Revolution Evolution and a small re-cap on Surviving Material.

The Studio 5 Summer Exhibition. Day 18. Revolution Evolution and a small re-cap on Surviving Material.

Each book has an individual voice.

An artists book. A journey through a revolution evolution.

".. it does not evolve, but merely undergoes change of form. It does not advance from less to more, because there is no source where it could derive any increment"

Hand dyed/coloured leather, book cloth, collage text, hand printing, photo copies, resist work, stencil work, collage, gathered text from various sources along with mixed media. Full edge decoration. 17.5cm x 25cm x 1cm when closed.

Images evolving from my Man Booker Binding of George Saunders book... Lincoln in the Bardo... Winner of the Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2017.

Modified flat back case binding, drum leaf text block.

If you require more information please do not hesitate to PM me.

For more information about artists books may I suggest a good starting point is the National Art Library at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Yes, I do have work in the collection)

Man Booker 2017

My biblionautic chums and friends, I had planned a summer exhibition. However, as with nearly all things this has been put on hold. But have no fear, if you cannot come to the exhibition.. the exhibition comes to you. Featuring work from my personal collection and new works. Further live posts will be at 11.00 hrs BST, everyday, give or take. Please forgive the one or two blips and the odd shake! Please note, if there are days missing in your group it is because I only post to groups that I feel may find the post of interest or keep in line with the ethos or criteria of the group. For example this Studio 5 going live has not been shared with the 'Ring Road Truckers' as there are no trucks, truckers or indeed ring roads featured.

For a short film please follow the link below the images.
