The construction and form of the bookwork set it apart from ordinary mass market books. It is a craft object where content and form come together to create an artwork that can be admired for its physical beauty and engaged with by opening it up. Books can take our minds away from the present moment into the realm of imagination, memory and aspiration. Likewise the bookwork is a vehicle for thought and expression. This blog looks at the book as art and all things related to books.

What Next?
situations in which to learn....
self-directed learning, collaborate with others, external stimuli, MA or residency?
Everything everyday has the potential to teach me something and I think of Dieter Roth who did not separate art from life. The beauty of book art coming as it did out of fluxus is that it can respond to the immediate situation now at grassroots level by publishing/making by hand quickly with restricted means but to great effect.
