There really is so much out there that can inspire me but I need to be selective to avoid information overload so I am currently focusing on poetry, the visual effects of text and collage. So it has been great this week to look at the poetry of Plath, the collages of Schwitters, concrete poetry at Tate Britain and the visual poetry at the Poetry Library. I am hoping all this will feed into my practice.
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.
