From these thoughts, I wrote a short description of each place, forming the basis for two hand-made books: Shadow Locations I and II.
I had thought about making a concertina book for a while, and this was an opportunity to make my first.
Since viewing an exhibition of work by graphic designer Ivan Chermayeff, I have grown increasingly interested in collage. Similar to my interest in printmaking, collage compliments my hand-made book work.
Shadow Locations I 2018
Concertina book 7.5 x 7.5 x 29.7cm
Inkjet printed on newsprint with assorted collage papers.
Shadow Locations II
A cottage, low and surrounded
by bare trees and mist. Steps
down, past winter vegetables
in the front garden. Through
the front door, a small
square room, crowded with
dark furniture. Guy quiet.
Panya smiling. A wood fire,
the smell of damp and a tin
of buttons.
