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.

structure
making the poem book
The bookwork is to be square, triangular, and to fit in the hand. It will contain a poem. Starting off with a square piece of paper I began to fold and the square became a triangle. It is unusual to hit upon the solution straight away but I have.
