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.

BOOK ART: reflecting on the process of making
trace
My scroll is like a film strip. It is a continuous line. As I trace the newspaper headlines they overlap and are juxtaposed next to each other. They acquire a new context within the scroll. Each headline is like a frame and the whole will be animated as the scroll is unrolled and the eye scans the tracings.
