Work submitted!

Heres a quick look at the submission set up of my work, a lot the books there I won't use for the final degree show to make sure its all good standard of work. I'm aiming to keep the simple layout though. Also I will have the projection all set up at the show. 

 

Finished my degree! Lets hope I do well enough to graduate :P

Show Me the Monet

A quick post just saying that anyone interested in art should watch this programme- on Mondays at 5.15pm, not sure how long for. It's a competition for artists to get an exhibition and sale in the Royal College of Art in London. Heres a link to the facebook page for more info- http://www.facebook.com/pages/Show-Me-the-Monet/104610129609798

Look out for Belinda Durrant who I know, her work is very good! http://www.belindadurrant.co.uk/

Not much happening with my own work right now. I'm thinking the next thing I will do (having pretty much finished my uni work now) is to make a sci-fi book for a show in Portland. Should be fun just to make even if I don't get in!

Two New Books

These are the two books I have made as 'final pieces' for my final year of uni: 'Thread and Ink.' and "Thread and Hands.'. They are an summery of all the other books I have made looking at printing, sewing and xerox. They were made very simply as concertina books using my printer. I composed the images and threads on my scanner and photocopied it onto heavy weight paper then glued it all together as a concertina. I realised after a few experiments and visits to book fairs (went to the Bristol Artists Books Event last weekend- it was great!) that the simpler the printing and construction, the better the quality, therefore these books are all paper, with soft, loose covers as the binding. Hope you like them!
